I received an amount of Rs. 5,00,000/- as gratuity and exgratia payment when I quit my 27-year old job. I want to know the tax liability and other implications on this income. My last drawn salary was Rs. 11,500/- p. m. and company used to pay a bonus of 20% on full year's salary every year at the end of Financial Year. Please reply at the earliest. Thanks.
the gratuity received by you will be exempt to the extent specified u/s 10(10) of the I-T Act. the remaining amount will be taxable. the calculation of the taxable gratuity & salary income is given as below. the tax is being calculated without considering the deduction u/s 80C as no data is given by you regarding your tax savings. Is this gratuity received by in 2011-12 or 2012-13:
