During a cabinet meeting on Monday, the government approved measures to provide relief to both retired and serving state employees. Notably, the gratuity limit has been increased from Rs 14 lakh to Rs 20 lakh, responding to demands for an adjustment in line with central government recommendations, which suggested raising it to Rs 25 lakh.
