  Dear Madhu/ Milind,
  Gratuity Act does not limit the maximum amount that a person can receive in the form of gratuity. Payment of Gratuity Act 1972 Sec. 4 (5).
  It says that employer can cap his liability to a maximum of Rs. 3.5 lakh per employee but nothing in the law prohibits him to provide better benefit than the one mentioned.
  Though the Income Tax Act says that as long as the Gratuity amount is not exceeding 8.33% of employees annual salary, its not taxable even if it crosses 3.5 lakh limit (Ref. Income Tax Act RR 98 to 111)
  There are companies who pay gratuity without cap i.e. an employee can accumulate gratuity as long as he work, even if he crosses 3.5 lakh limit.

  In 6th Pay Commission The Maximum Amount Of Gratuity Has Been Enhanced To Rs.10.00 Lakhs.is This Amount Will Be Payable To Other Govt./govt.undertaking Employees Also.
  Pay commission declaration is for the government employees whereas we have been discussing about the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The gratuity payable to government employees is entirely different from the one specified in the aforesaid Act.

  Sec 4 of the Payment of Gratuity ACT, 1972 lays down that nothing in the section shall prohibit the employee from receiving greater amount of gratiuty than the minimum prescribed. if the empolyer is offering better in terms of gratuity, the employee can accept it.upto 3.5 lakhs is exmpted.
  dear pay commission recommendation is different but we will also get amendement very soon in payment of gratuity act,tks j s malik

  According to the recent amendment made to the payment of gratuity act, the maximum amount payable to an employee is Rs 3.5 lakh provided if he completes the continuous period of 5 years under the same employer. the provisions of income tax not applicable for Gratuity but if an employee deposits the said amount in any bank, the interest payable on gratuity amount is liable for income tax deduction.
  Which amendment took place for limiting the gratuity to Rs.3.5 lacs.
  Because if it is so companys are still providing for gratuity on the basis of 8.33% of base salary which will exceed the above limit.
