2 Gratuity income is exempt show it under exempt income.
3 Show the gift amount in ITR 1 under exempt income for reporting purpose.

15 July 2015 Thank you all for ur guidance.

But,
Sir,
in the instructions. provided by CBDT on its efiling website for choosing ITR forms, it is said that:
(1) Government includes state govt. and central govt. And
(2) PSU includes Public sector companies of Government. Considering this, here, the assessee was the employee of neither the PSU nor the Government . Because he was the employee of a municipal transport service, run by a municipal corporation.

Now, the question is about the remaining two options.
- (1) Others and - (2) Not Applicable.

Should he fill "Not applicale " in Employer category , as he is retired now and he is not the employee now ??

OR Should he fill " Others " ?

Pls say ur opinions.
Thanks.
