Dear Ms. Madhu,
Thanks for the information.
If any organisation is giving 20 days gratuity.In this case, 5 day's amount is taxable or not??
Because only 15 days is mandatory according gratuity act.

It is not the 5 days wages part but the total amount in excess of Rs 10 lakhs that will become taxable. However, you can take expert opinion from Chartered Accountants or Financial Experts about the treatment of taxable portion of gratuity that if an employer pays gratuity @ 20 days for every completed year of service as against 15 days, will that 5 days paid in excess of what is stated in the Act be treated as taxable.
