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?

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).
