No The amount so calculated is more than Rs.3.50 lakhs an employee will get Rs.3.50 only. Now this ceiling has been raised to Rs.10 lakhs
From India, Calcutta
Gratuity is calculated under the methodology laid down in Payment of Gratuity Act. The amount so arrived if it exceeds beyond Rs.3.50, the employee will get Rs.3.50 lakhs only. If is is less than 3.50 lakhs he will get actual. Now this ceiling has been raised to Rs.10 lakhs. The upper ceiling has been revised several times in the past since then Gratuity Act was passed and came into force. For eligibility, calculation, entitlement one should go through the details of Payment of Gratuity Act.

Earlier, Gratuity upto 3.5 lakhs was not taxed. Does anyone know if in the raised limit, Income tax for the amount above 3.5 Lakhs is applicable?
