Was trying to attach an attachment in Gmail that was somewhat more than 10MB, I knew there was a limit of 10MB mail attachment in Gmail but still gave it a try and to my surprise it got attached without any issues.

Curious I landed up to Gmail’s help page, searched up attachment size and viola what do I find, the attachment size for Gmail has been increased to 25MB, also a small note below this help excerpt shows it had been last edited on June 22nd 2009.

This sure will come handy when you have huge documents to be mailed to and fro. But yes there is a catch, the recipient should also have a similar quota of receiving an 25MB attachment. This obviously will not be an issue if your recipient is an Gmail user.

Kudos Gmail, thanks for this.

Quote from Gmail Attachment Size Help Page :

Maximum attachment size

With Gmail, you can send and receive messages up to 25 megabytes (MB) in size.
Please note that you may not be able to send larger attachments to contacts who use other email services with smaller attachment limits. If your attachment bounces, you should invite them to Gmail.
