Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how to report gratuity payments on Form 16 and for Income Tax Returns (ITR). It addresses a scenario where a client received part of their gratuity in FY 2019-20 and the balance in FY 2020-21. The consensus is that the exemption limit is up to £20 lakh, making the client's gratuity fully exempt. The advice suggests reflecting the received amount in Form 16 and deducting it to arrive at the gross salary, ensuring correct tax reporting.
As per your saying gratuity received 244000 gratuity eligible 350308 20 lakh as per amendment or 10 lakhs as per previous which ever is less is taken in your case 244000 now again exemption limit is 20 lakh as per amendment and 10 lakh as per previous so fully exempted as per it return if you're employer wants to show it in form 16 then add the least amount in salary after that allowances exempted under section 10 deducut the same amount to get the gross salary
