In my openion, same gratuity norms are provided for Central Govt. Employees from for whom the order came into effect from 1.1.2006 where as the effective date is 1.1.2007 for PSU executives.
As someone mentioned above, even I feel there is no upper limit for gratuity for private sector but the Income Tax exemption is for Rs. 3.5 lakhs as of now but a proposal has been sent for increasing this exemption to 10 lakhs.
