Exempt fully-Retirement benefits received by Non Government employees from Income Tax

The Issue

Retirement benefits payable to government employees:-Gratuity under              Sec10(10)(i) and Leave encashment under Sec 10(10AA)(i) is fully exempt. But for non government employees gratuity is taxable under Sec10(10)(ii) & Sec10(10)(iii) above Rs10lakhs. Leave encashment under Sec10(10AA)(ii)      above Rs3lakhs. Why the differential treatment ?. Are the non government employees not contributing for the growth of the economy-country-GDP ?.Are we not paying             taxes ?.Treat both of them at Par.
