16 September 2021 The least of the following is exempt from tax:

1. Last salary (basic + DA)* number of years of employment* 15/26;
2. Rs. 20 lakhs (which has been hiked from Rs. 10 Lakh as per the amendment);
3. Gratuity Actually received.
Based on changing data, verify among these 3 options, and claim whichever is least.
