Got Salary Arrears? Claim Section 89 Relief Under Income Tax in India
A backdated promotion, a delayed increment, or arrears from a pay revision can all land in a single year and push you into a higher slab, taxing old income at today's rate. Section 89(1) exists precisely for this. You spread the arrears back to the years they belonged to, recompute, and claim the difference as relief, but only after filing Form 10E on the portal first. Skip that form, and the relief is denied. Anyone receiving back pay should check this before filing their income tax in India return.
