For encashment of leave, there are certain rules, and it's not just a policy matter of a company. The lawmakers who prescribed the leave for the employees also prescribed the rules of encashment. For example, in Section 79 and 80 of the Factories Act, it is stated that when an employee is on leave, he is entitled to the salary as if he were at work. Similarly, when any employee has left his employment, he is entitled to the wages for the balance of accumulated leave. In short, what a person would have received while at work, the same is receivable while on leave or for encashment of leave.
Any policy against legal provisions cannot be a policy at all for the simple reason that it is going to invite trouble.

I agree with Mr. Kulkarni. He guided you exactly, so you should refer to this. If you need further clarification, type on Google "rule of encashment or Earned leave," and you will find the link to the Citehr post related to this topic. Several comments are mentioned in that post. I am sure that will be helpful for you.

In the Shops and Establishment Act, there is no provision for the encashment of leaves while on continuous work. According to the Act, leave encashment is only allowed after leaving the employer. Therefore, in some cases, a few companies encash the leave based on Basic+DA, while others do so based on the gross salary.

There are also such provisions found in the State's Shops and Establishments statute. In the Maharashtra Shops and Establishments Act, in chapter 7, you will find the appropriate provisions similar to the Factories Act. In short, whether it is a factory act or shops act, you will find a similarity of provisions.

Sir, with due respect, the Bombay Shops and Establishment Act also does not mention the leave encashment payment while on duty or the continuity of employment or encashing due to the lapse of leave. The Act only states leave encashment while terminating the employment by either side but not encashment during employment.

Dear Saji,
What you are saying is very correct. I was not saying that encashment is compulsory, but I was referring to the salary rate at which encashment has to be done because the original post was asking for that. Whether to allow encashment or not is not governed by any rule. But if it is to be granted, then it should be at par with normal wages. Perhaps you were referring to the policy of management regarding whether to allow encashment or not, and such discretion is possible.
Thanks for your post.

Dear all,
As a general rule, encashment of earned leave (EL) is based on the basic salary plus dearness allowance (DA). Allowances such as conveyance, washing allowance, newspaper allowance, etc., are payable subject to the performance of duty. These allowances are not payable if the employee does not attend work. Therefore, for encashment purposes, they cannot be included.
Thank you,

In case of leave encashment, the Basic plus DA are only payable under the condition that it does not involve house rent and other allowances relevant to the period of service. In the case of rates under the Minimum Wages Act, the day rate of wages is considered for such calculations.

Dear Schakraborty_69,
Basically, Annual Leave facilities are governed under the Factories Act 1948. If any organization has its own Service Regulations, the rules related to annual leave and encashment of the unavailed portion of leave - mode, method of payment, maximum and minimum leave to be encashed, and the number of times encashment is permitted - will also be defined in the regulation.
In the Factory Act 1948, the payment of wages in respect of unavailed leave is confined to employees who have been discharged by the employer or who have quit the job.
Under section 79 of the Factory Act, an employee can carry forward a maximum of 30 days of leave to the succeeding year. The law is silent regarding encashment.
Therefore, the encashment of unavailed leave is purely an amenity or welfare measure existing due to a settlement or negotiation between management and the employees. When it is a settlement, naturally, it will be governed by special conditions related to the method of payment, inclusive of the components of the Gross salary to be considered for encashment.
