I am a working widow and my husband was working in para military force. He died in 2006 on duty. Last year i.e. in A.Y. 2017-18 I got 11 lakhs as arrears in my family pension in February 2017. I'd filed income tax showing the pension+arrears as income from other sources. I'd paid around 5 lakhs as tax.The Itr was processed also. Later I got to know that the arrears received in family pension is not taxable.Is it true? Can I file the revised itr before 31 August 2018. I'd filed the itr last year on 4 August 2017. Will my extra tax paid be refunded?

File revised return claiming relief for arrear received u/s 89(1) by filling 10E form along with revised return. You will get refund for excess tax paid.
