Dear All Seniors
My 1 employee is retired and he has worked for 32 year in our company. As per the gratuity calculation Rs.2307692/- amount is payable for gratuity. We have LIC - gratuity fund scheme.
is there any maximum limit for gratuity??
Kindly let me know that can we pay this amount through LIC scheme or only 1000000 is payable, which exempted under income tax Act.
As per my knowledge Rs.2307692/- is payable but please confirm the same.

As per PGA you are liable to pay only Upto 10 Lakh which is tax free under IT Act. Over & above it is your sole discretion but above 10 Lakh amount will be Taxable.

Maximum Gratuity which can be paid is Rs20 lakhs.
If company wants to pay more than 20 lakhs ,balance amount can be termed Ex gratia or performance bonus.
As far as I can understand: The ceiling of Rs. 20 lakh applies to the aggregate of gratuity received from 1 or more employers in the same or different years.
Beyond 20 Lakhs amount of gratuity received is taxable.
