Income tax on gratuity
Replies (1)
The trade unions had demanded that the new gratuity ceiling for tax benefits be applicable retrospectively from January 1, 2016. But the government not likely to enforce a retrospective amendment to the tax laws.
The provision of tax exemption on gratuity falls under section 10 of the Income Tax Act and was last amended in 2010. For a change in gratuity provisions, both the Payment of Gratuity act and the Income Tax Act would have to be amended.
So, wait for notification.....
