Hello,

A wife has received Salary arrears of his late husband. Employer deduct TDS on arrears of salary. My Queries are:

1) Is it taxable in wife's hands?

2) can she claim refund?

3) is there any Rebate?

The Other income of Wife is 140000 Rs for the A.Y. 2009-10.

Plz it's urgent because last date of written filing is 31st.
