Employees covered under the Payment of Gratuity Act enjoy tax exemption under specific circumstances. Among the following options, the one that is the least qualifies for tax exemption:
- Gratuity of Rs. 20 lakh
- The final salary amount is calculated by adding together the basic salary and dearness allowance (DA), then multiplying the result by the length of employment, and finally multiplying that by the total number of working days in a month.
- The actual gratuity amount received
