You will be eligible for relief under section 89. You will have to fill up Form 10E with these details and then submit it to your employer to claim the relief. Keep your salary slips handy to provide as proof of receipt of the arrears. Please note that if you do not have to pay excess tax due to the arrears, then you do not get the relief.
Section 89 comes in picture when salary/pension or other components are paid in arrears or advance. According to Section 89, if you get salary in arrears or advance in a financial year due to which your total income for the year increases, which in turn increases your taxable income, you can claim for relief under Section 89. You will have to fill up Form 10E with these details and then submit it to your current employer to claim the relief. Form 10E has to be submitted online and no copy is required to be attached with your tax return.
