Quick Summary
A central government employee received Rs 23 lakhs in gratuity, which is fully tax-exempt. However, when filing their ITR1 online, they encountered an error stating that only Rs 20 lakhs can be claimed as exempt. Despite selecting 'Central Government Employee', both online and offline utilities showed this error. It appears to be a glitch in the system, and the user has been advised to file a grievance.
