I have paid an amount of Rs. 2,50,000 to a PSU for breaking the service bond agreement. Can I deduct this amount while calculating my gross income for this year while filing ITR?

In my opinion, it cannot be deducted from your income.
Unlike Notice pay, it's not deductible from the salary payable to you at final settlement, rather you have to pay this amount in terms of the bond. At times such amount is bigger than the salary you receive during that year.
