have to pay higher taxes as the arrear /advance salary are taxed in the year of receipt of the same and not in the year in which

Step 1: Calculate the tax due in the current year, rstly by including the arrears in your total income and then by excluding the
arrears from your total income. Then take the difference of these two figures and lets call the difference as X.
Step 2: Calculate your tax due (or the actual tax paid) in the year for which the arrears have been received, rstly by including the
arrears in your total income and then by excluding the arrears from your total income. Then take the dierence of these two
figures and lets call the difference as Y.
Step 3: The figure you get when you subtract X from Y is your relief amount.

You may submit Form 10E for claiming such relief to your employer. Also, you must submit Form 10E online on the Income Tax
Website before ling the Return of Income. Your salary slips serve as proof of receipt of arrears and should be kept safely. One
important thing to note is that relief can only be claimed if tax paid is actually higher due to receipt of such arrears. If there is no
extra tax liability, relief is not allowed. In case of VRS Compensation being received by the employee no relief shall be granted
under Section 89 if he has claimed exemption u/s 10(10C) for Voluntary Retirement Scheme. An assessee can claim either
exemption under section 10(10C) or relief u/s 89 and not both together.
