AA-63 How to Take March Salary Which Paid in April in Income Tax Return

All Respected Members,

please educate me that if my employer pay me March 2024 salary in April 2024 and it's credited in my bank account in April 2024 month too, how should I deal it for my income tax return for 2024:

Should I add this net salary amount which credited in my bank account in April 2024 with closing balance of my bank account on 31-3-24 and show it as cash at bank in my income tax return 2024 ?

or

should I consider that amount which is only exist in my bank account and reflecting as closing balance on 31-3-24 in my bank statement ?

Thanks in advance for your precious time to reply this query.

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses how to handle your March salary if it's paid and credited to your bank account in April. The consensus is to declare the March salary as income for the current tax year, regardless of the payment date. You should report your bank balance as it stood on 31st March. Relying on your employer's Form 16 is also advised for accurate salary computation.

Due or receive basic which ever is earlier.
Mr. Imran,

For simplicity, better follow form 16 issued by employer,for salary computation ....

Dear My videos,

 
         You should add your March Month's Salary as your income, compute & pay tax accordingly. You will have to show the bank balance as per the pass book AS on Date 31-Mar-24.
Thanks to Mr. Dhirajlal Sir and Narendra Sir for reply of my query.

as far as cash flow is concerned, you are saying that I should consider balance at bank on 30-Mar-24 and net salary amount of March which will receive in April should take in cash flow of next year return. please confirm.
