Dear Itika,

Least of the following will be exempt -

1) Gratuity Received = Rs. 3,60,000

2) Limit as prescribed =Rs. 3,50,000

3) Amount as computed = 1/2 month Average salary of past 10 months x No. of. years of service

= 1/2 {(15000*7 + 14000*3)/10} x 24

= 1,76,400

Therefore Taxable Gratuity is Rs. 3.60 Lacs - Rs. 1,76,400 = Rs. 1,83,600

Note : -Salary = 15000/month in Calender year 2009 i:e January'09 to July'09 = 7months

+ 14,000/month in Calender year 2008 i:e October 2008 to December 2008 = 3 months
