05 July 2018 I have received my performance based payment pertaining to the year 2016-17 in the month of April, 2018 from my company. While checking the Form 26AS for the financial year 2017-18 (AY-2018-19) (as about to go for filing ITR), this payment was found accounted along with other details of the payment the financial year 2017-18. I have sent letter asking clalrifications from my company for this wrong accounting. But, so far no reply. However, I have been following it up.

Grateful, if you could give your kind advice whether the referred performance based payment is to be taken as income for the financial year 2017-18 or 2018-19 while filing my ITR.

Kindly advise at the earliest.

Thanking you,

regards

05 July 2018 Performance based pay is 'salary' and it should be accounted by employer/
employee on payment/ receipt basis since TDS is based on payment.
Hence, 26AS of fin. yr. 2017-18 needs correction.
