21 April 2014 gratuity may be part of CTC.
but it is not taxable every year.
normally co. pay gratuity on retirement or on death of employee. not otherwise.

if you are state or central govt employee then all amount recd. on retirement will exempt.

otherwise

minimum of following will exempt:

1. 15 days salary for every complete year or year in which do work exceed 6 month on basis of last salary drawn.

2. Rs. 10,00,000-00
3.actual recd. amount

bal. amount will taxable.
