First you have to arrive at the taxable gratuity.

Taxable gratuity is calculated as below

Gratutity received

1/2 month salary for each year of completed service
Gratuity received
Rs.350000-(if earlier claimed any grautuity)

The lease of the above is allowable.

The net of gratuity received minus allowable is taxable.

It has to be added to the income of the assesse under salaries along with other salary income
