The full amount recd as a gratuity is exempt for government employees and 10 Lac is limit for non – government employees.

1. In case of Govt employees gratuity received at the time of retirement is exempt.

2. In case of Non-Govt employees it is partially exempt on the basis of following criteria -where the payment is covered under The Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972-

1. 15 days Salary (Basic+ DA in terms of employment)  x  Nos of year in Service.

2. 10,00,000

3. Actual amount Received.

Which ever is minimum.

3. In case of Non-Govt employees it is partially exempt on the basis of following criteria -where the payment is not covered under The Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972-
