Please refer section 10(10). sir it also depends on how you have disclosed such gratuity in ITR . do you have the proper calculation sheet for such gratuity. if that's correct it might be disclosure related error and so the department has issued notice
@ Rajat
Gratuity receipt is exempt under 10(10) upto a ceiling of 10 lakhs upto 29.3.2018 and thereafter upto 20 lakhs.

Check Form 16 how much Gratuity amount ?
Check your ITR - Which ITR you filed ?

There is something wrong in filling up ITR that's why notice .

If you wish , you mail me ITR and 143(1)(a) intimation at----- pnkapadia @ gmail.com.
Sir with due respect I want to request you to please advise me on this matter
If you wish , you mail me ITR and 143(1)(a) intimation at----- pnkapadia @ gmail.com.

1. According to sec 10(10), gratuity will be exempted with the least of the following,
i) Last drawn salary (basic + DA)* no of years of completed service*15/26,
ii) Rs. 20 lakhs,
iii) Actual amount of gratuity received.
2. The above computation sometimes could be tricky with respect to the determination of salary amount and determination of completed years of service. 
3. As explained expert above the reason for rejection of your computation could be due to showing of gratuity in the ITR or due to computation. 
4. Cross verify the computation sheet and make sure you have proper documents in support of your claim of exemption u/s 10(10). 
Please correct me if the above solution has an alternative view.
