Received salary arrears, advance salary or a one-off payout that pushed you into a higher slab? Section 89 relief re-spreads it over the years it belongs to, so you don't overpay — claim it via Form 10E.
The tax on the arrears is recomputed as if received in the years it related to; the difference between the two calculations is your relief, deducted from this year's tax.
Pay-commission arrears, gratuity/commuted pension, and leave-encashment received while in service.
Our CAs work out exactly how much you can save and file it correctly.
