Is this gratuity taxable?

For private-sector employees, gratuity up to ₹20 lakh over a career is tax-free under section 10(10), so ₹2,01,923 would be fully exempt (if you haven't received gratuity tax-free before). For government employees, gratuity is fully tax-free.

Remember

  • Gratuity is usually payable after 5 years of continuous service with the same employer.
