The Gratuity Amendment Act 2010 has been notified by the Gvernment on 21St May 2010 and The Amendment has been given effect with effect from 24th May 2010.
As far as the PSU employees who have retired after 01/01/2007,ie after the wage revision, as per the PRC and as approved by the Government,wherein the gratuity limit has also been increased to Rs 10 lakhs,it was expected that that Government will make a favourable consideration.However the chapter seems to be closed with this notification.There is discrimination between two sections of employees of the same Government as far as the tax implication .
