The exemption claim may be raised through a revised computation during appellate proceedings where it was not made in a revised return. Delays in filing first appeals by similarly placed employees may be condoned where lack of awareness, incorrect professional advice and parity with favourable decisions establish sufficient cause. The Assessing Officer must verify eligibility for both assessment years, grant the exemption where due, and determine resulting tax liability or refund. en-us Fri, 03 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 12 Aug 2026 21:28:35 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=470903 BSNL VRS-2019 ex-gratia compensation is treated as retrenchment compensation eligible for full exemption under Section 10(10B), despite an earlier exemption claim under Section 10(10C).
