Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax-exempt gratuity limit for Assessment Year 20-21. While the limit was extended to Rs 20 lakhs for non-government employees, this only applies to those covered under the Payment of Gratuity Act. For employees not covered by the Act, the maximum tax-exempt gratuity limit remains at Rs 10 lakhs.

In FY 2020-21, if an individual receives gratuity, then maximum tax-exempt gratuity will be Rs 20 lakh in his/her lifetime for non-government employees. Gratuity received due to death of an employee will remain tax-exempt in the new tax structure as well without any maximum limit," 
@ Raju Warrier,

The limit is not extended for those employees not covered under payment of Gratuity Act.

So the maximum limit remains 10Lakhs
Yes agree with Eswar Reddy Sir...

For those who are not covered under the Payment of Gratuity Act 1975, the MAXIMUM limit is still Rs. 10 lakhs.
