For your case of filing income tax return with **salary income and exempted gratuity**, here’s what you need to do:
---
### 1. **Which ITR to File?**
* Use **ITR-2** (for individuals who have income from salary and exempted income like gratuity but no business income).
---
### 2. **How to Include Gratuity Exemption in ITR-2?**
* Gratuity is exempt under **Section 10(10)** of Income Tax Act. * In ITR-2, gratuity exemption is to be reported under the **“Exempt Income”** section.
**Steps in ITR-2 form:**
* Go to the **“Income Details”** section → **Exempt Income** → Find the field for **Gratuity (Section 10(10))** or similar. * Enter the **exempted gratuity amount** here. * Your total salary should include the full amount of salary and gratuity received, but exemption amount of gratuity will be shown separately here, so only taxable part of gratuity (if any) is added to taxable income.

### 3. **Filing Online**
* ITR-2 is downloadable from the official site: [incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in](https://www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in) * You can fill the Excel or Java utility and upload it back after signing digitally or using DSC if applicable. * Or you can use the online form (which should have the Exempt Income section).
