can't understant my friend. i repeat once again. if any employee left the job within 3 years and employer paid him gratuity because gratuity includes in his CTC. then the amount received by him as grtuity will be taxable or not?
Any death cum retirement gratuity received by Government or Local Authority employees is exempt from tax. For Non-Government Employees the taxability depends on whether Gratuity is covered under the Gratuity Act
A) Gratuity covered under the Gratuity Act
For Gratuity covered under the Gratuity Act, total of gratuity received by an employee, covered by the Gratuity Act, from various employers in whole of service is exempt from tax to the extent of least of the following three amounts:
15 days' salary, based on the last drawn salary, for each completed year of service Rs.10,00,000/-; or The gratuity actually received. B) Gratuity not covered under the Gratuity Act
For Gratuity not covered under the Gratuity Act any gratuity not covered by the Gratuity Act, is exempt from tax to the extent of least of the three amounts
The half month's salary for each completed year of service; or Rs.10,00,000/-; or The gratuity actually received.
