I would like to know that when arrears of previous years(i.e. 2006-07, 2008-09, 2009-10) salaries are due in 2011-12 and such total arrears are received 40%, 30% and 30% in 2011-12, 2012-13, 2013-14 respectively. how would apply a tax treatment in 2011-12 when 40% is applied by assessee Department on total arrears, not on yearly basis i.e. not apply 40% on arrears of year 2006-07, 2008-09 and 2009-10? Also Please tell me is there any clarification by CBDT?

Arrears are to be considered year-wise and only on receipt basis. . 40% Amount is received means in each of the year you have to take 40% of Total arrears due. . Suppose arrears due for the 3 past years is 12000, 15000 and 20000. The assessee gets 4800+6000+8000= 18800. Consider 4800 in year 1, 6000 in year 2 and 8000 in year 3 respectively on receipt basis. .
