ADVANCE SALARY IS IS TAXABLE ON RECEIPT BASIS IN THE RELEVANT ASSESSMENT YEAR. THE RECIPIENT OF SALARY CAN HOWEVER CLAIM RELIEF U/S 89. HOWEVER A LOAN TAKEN FROM EMPLOYER IS NOT TAXABLE AS ADVANCE SALARY.

Dear Geetanjali,

As per section 15 i.e charging section of salary,. if salary is due then it become taxable whether received or not. Also, salary is taxable on receipt whether due or not.

So it will be taxable in the previous year when the advance salary is received.

Hai all,

Salary is taxable on due or Receipt basis whichever falls earlier.......So advance salary is taxable when it is received i.e...even it is not due.Advance against salary is not taxable when it is received but taxable as and when it falls due.....it is not exempted

Looking for further clarification.

I am also agree with depesh, Advance Salary is taxable for employee on the basis of receipt however he can claim relief u/s 89. Loan from employer is not taxable as advance salary.
