Taxability of Gratuity (Sec-10)

I received gratuity of Rs 1525481/- in September 2018 (FY 2018-19) on superannuation (31/05/2018) from central government (IAF).

Is this amount fully exempt from income tax?

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the taxability of gratuity received by central government employees under Section 10 of the Income Tax Act. It confirms that gratuity received under CCS Pension Rules 1972 by central and state government employees is fully exempt. For other gratuities, exemptions are subject to limits based on salary and years of service as per Section 10(10).

Are you government employee??
Yes, I retired on superannuation from IAF on 31/05/2018.

Any death cum retirement gratuity under the CCS PENSION RULES 1972 OR UNDER ANY SIMILAR SCHEMES RECEIVED BY ALL CATEGORIES OF CENTRAL AND STATE GOVERNMENT EMPLOYESS EXEMPTED UNDER SRCTION sec 10
Any other gratuity received under section 4(2) and (3) of the payment of gratuity act 1972.
any other gratuoty received on retirement , termination or death by the employee , his widow or dependant subjecy to max. of one half montgs salary for each year of completed service sec 10(10)
Then it will be exempt
