Quick Summary
The taxability of a commuted pension amount depends on your employment status. For government employees, the commuted pension is fully exempt from income tax. Non-government employees may have a portion of their commuted pension taxed, with the exempt amount varying based on whether they also receive a gratuity.

The commuted pension is fully exempt from income tax for government employees under section 10(10A) of I.T. Act, 1961. For a non-government employee who receives pension along with gratuity, 1/3rd of the 100% of the commuted pension is exempt. The rest is taxed, like their salary. If a non-government employee only receives a pension and not gratuity, 50% of the 100% of the commuted pension is exempt.
Agreed
