Query regarding Gratuity payment

Dear Colleague
Kindly advice for Gratuity payment pointed as below.
1. In case of Gratuity more than Rs. Ten Lacs i.e. aprox. Rs.1300000/-
2. Can we deduct tax on 3 Lacs as per slab.
One Accounts professional not agree to pay more than Rs.1000000/- in any condition. Please advice so that we can produce any example before him.
Thanks

Ask your Accounts professional to refer to "The Payment of Gratuity (Amendment) Bill, 2017"
This will make things clear.

Is maternity Leave included in the 240 days of graduty entitlement of that year.
