Section 4(5)of the payment of gratuity act permit unlimited amount if an agreement had been made with any approved agency like LIC where a premium amount is annually paid for releasing the gratuity.

My employer is claiming only rs. 10 lacs is payable as gratuity whereas, the trust has given me a letter stating my actual gratuity amount, which is higher than 10 lacs.
also, my employer has allowed me to one month salary *no. of years of service, as per their board resolution.
can the employer disapprove this now?

Please refer departmental rules regarding gratuity payment.

Tax free limit of gratuity was raised to 20 lacs from 10 lacs in 2018.
