Sir,

As per section 10(13) of Income Tax Act, 1961, where an employee received payment from an approved superannuation fund on retirement the same is exempt from tax. Therefore commuted amount of superannuation fund received at the time of retirement is not taxable provided the said superannuation fund should be approved.

Whereas the monthly annuity amount is taxable under the head "income from other sources".

Exemption on gratuity amount (non-government employee)

where gratuity act is applicable on employer organization, least of the following is exempt from tax:

1) actual amount of gratuity received

2) fix amount of Rs. 20 lakh

3) Last salary (basic + D.A.)* number of years of employment *15/26 

(where gratuity act is not applicable on the organization method of calculation of exempt amount of gratuity is same as above except replace 15/30 instead of 15/26 in 3rd point)
