Further financial assistance extended by an employer in the event of death of an employee due to COVID is totally exempt, assistance received from others is tax exempt up to Rs 10 lakh. These benefits are available for FY 2019-20 and beyond,” Times Now quoted Deloitte India partner Saraswathi Kasturirangan as saying.
