5) There are three types of categories under the above cited Section i.e. 1) Government employees (Section 10(10)(i)), 2) employees covered by the Gratuity Act Section 10(10)(ii) and 3) any other employee covered by Section 10(10)(iii).

As referred above in Para 1 that every factory is covered under Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 whether recognized Gratuity Trust falls under the purview of section 10(10)(ii) or 10(10)(iii) of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
