Could you please explain me the treatment of Gratuity received during the year by employee for Tax computation purpose.

23 March 2011 Gratuity received upto Rs. 1000000 is exempt

23 March 2011 Gratuity recd by Govt employees - fully exempt

For others -
If employee is covered by Payment of Gratuity Act, least of the following is exempt -
1. 10 lakhs,
2. actual gratuity recd, or
3. 15/26*last drawn salary*completed yrs of service
salary here means basic + dearness allowance
completed yrs of service includes part of the yr in excess of 6 months

If employee is NOT covered by Payment of Gratuity Act, least of the following is exempt -
1. 10 lakhs,
2. actual gratuity recd, or
3. 1/2*average salary*completed yrs of service
average salary means average of last ten months' salary immediately before month of retirement
