Quick Summary
This discussion explores the tax implications of receiving bank salary arrears spanning multiple years. It clarifies that arrears are taxed in the year of receipt and discusses the possibility of claiming relief under Section 89. The key question is whether investments under Section 80C can be applied to previous years or only the current year when the arrears are received and taxed.
Salary in arrears is taxable in the year in which it is received and also you can get relief us 89 hence 80c deduction can be talen in current year not from previous year
