It will not be part of gross salary for the purpose of income tax

In your case, if your employer is deducting Rs. 1200 from your monthly CTC towards gratuity, it means that they are creating a gratuity fund for you. This amount will not be considered as part of your gross salary for the purpose of income tax calculation, as it is not paid to you immediately but will be paid to you upon completion of five years of continuous service with the organization.
However, if your employer pays you gratuity as a lump sum amount at the time of your retirement or resignation, then it will be taxable as per the specified exemption limit. It will be added to your income and taxed accordingly.

Thank U Sir...
My employer have a policy that if employee leave before 5 years then they paid the gratuity amount (Monthly 1200) as Ex gratia.
In this case, will it be considered in Gross Salary for the purpose of TDS Calculation? Or the provision will be same as per gratuity?

Ex-gratia payments are typically treated as separate from regular salary and are not subject to TDS (tax deducted at source) in India. This means that your employer is not required to deduct TDS on the ex-gratia amount. However, it's important to note that the tax treatment of ex-gratia payments may vary based on the specific circumstances of your employment contract and the applicable tax laws. .
