The procedure is very easy. Do not go by the ready recknor method. Make a columner statement having 2 columns of the years. Put the income corresponding to that year. Deduct the arrears pertaining to earlier year from the current year. Add the saem amount in the earlier years. Compute the tax liability. See which one is benefitial 'bifurcating arrears or non bifurcating"
