Quick Summary
This discussion explores the tax implications of receiving additional gratuity payments upon retirement. It clarifies whether such payments, when combined with the original gratuity, are exempt from tax if the total amount remains within the limits prescribed by Section 10(10) of the Act. The conversation also touches upon scenarios involving delayed payments and the potential classification of these additional sums as capital receipts.

It will be treated as the same way as formula of normal Gratuity received applies

what is the reason for receipt of additional gratuity? Any specific direction by Authorities (say Court) due to which he is receiving the additional gratuity?

@ jgm
no specific direction by any authority, agreement between management and labour union regarding payment of additional gratuity at the time of retirement

@ Amir Shaikh - In that case, the exemption should be available. Having said this, you could also evaluate whether the said amount can be treated as capital receipt or not

@ Hiranmayee - Can you please elaborate as to under which circumstance this situation has arisen?

@ jgm thank you very much .
