What goes into a full & final settlement
A full & final settlement (FnF) is the closing pay-out an employer makes when you leave — on resignation, retirement, or termination. It nets everything the company still owes you against everything you still owe the company. The result is your net FnF payable.
| Unpaid salarySalary for days worked in the exit month, computed as monthly salary ÷ 30 × unpaid days. |
| Leave encashmentUnused / accumulated paid-leave balance × per-day basic (+DA). |
| GratuityPayable after 5 years of continuous service; exempt up to ₹20 lakh for private staff. |
| Bonus & other duesPending bonus, incentives, arrears and reimbursements owed to you. |
| Notice-period recoveryIf you serve short notice, the employer recovers pay for the shortfall period. |
| Loan / advance recoveryOutstanding salary advances or staff-loan balances. |
| TDSTax deducted at source on taxable components of the settlement. |
| Other deductionsUn-returned assets, damages, or policy-based penalties. |
A worked example
Say you resigned with 10 days of salary unpaid at a ₹50,000/month salary, and 15 days of leave to encash at ₹2,000/day of basic — with no recoveries. Here is how the settlement lands.
Key terms explained
Leave encashment
Payment for your unused paid-leave balance on exit — usually per-day basic (plus DA) × leave days. For non-government employees the exempt portion on retirement/resignation is capped at ₹25 lakh under Sec 10(10AA); the excess is taxable.
Gratuity
A lump sum for employees with 5+ years of continuous service, computed as 15 days' pay × years of service (Payment of Gratuity Act). Up to ₹20 lakh is tax-exempt for covered private employees.
Notice-period recovery
If you leave before serving the full notice, the employer can recover notice pay for the shortfall and deduct it from your FnF. If you serve full notice, this is nil.
FnF timeline
Settlement is generally expected within 30–45 days of the last working day. Delays without cause can be challenged; keep your relieving letter, payslips and leave record as proof.
Questions people ask
Short answers on Full & Final Settlement (FnF). Tap a question to open it.
01What is included in a full and final settlement?
Salary for days worked in the last month, leave encashment, statutory bonus, gratuity if five years of service is complete, reimbursements pending, and any variable pay due — less notice-period recovery, notice pay shortfall, advances, loans and unreturned assets.
02By when must FnF be paid?
The labour codes require wages on termination to be paid within two working days of separation, though many employers still take 30 to 45 days in practice. Delays beyond a reasonable period can be challenged before the labour authority.
03Is gratuity part of FnF?
Yes, if the employee has completed five years of continuous service, or has died or become disabled, in which case the five-year condition does not apply. Gratuity is payable within 30 days of it becoming due.
04How is notice-period recovery calculated?
On the basis stated in the appointment letter — commonly basic salary or gross salary for the number of days short-served. It is deducted from the settlement, and the recovered amount does not reduce taxable salary unless the employer treats it as a salary reversal.
05How is FnF taxed?
Salary, bonus and notice pay are fully taxable. Leave encashment on retirement or resignation is exempt for non-government employees up to ₹25 lakh under section 10(10AA), and gratuity is exempt up to ₹20 lakh under section 10(10).
