Tax on Gratuity

I have resigned from my company and received Gratuity on 4th June 2020, does it have tax liability? Do I have to show while filing the ITR next year ie for FY20-21?

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax implications of receiving gratuity in the UK. It addresses whether gratuity received in June 2020 is subject to tax and needs to be declared in the next Income Tax Return (ITR) for FY20-21. The current exemption limit for gratuity is £20 lakh for non-government employees, with a lower limit of £10 lakh for those not covered by the Payment of Gratuity Act 1975.

At present exemption limit of income tax liability in gratuity is Rs. 20 lakh.
In FY 2020-21, if an individual receives gratuity, then maximum tax-exempt gratuity will be Rs 20 lakh in his/her lifetime for non-government employees. For those who are not covered under the Payment of Gratuity Act 1975, the MAXIMUM limit is still Rs. 10 lakhs.
