Quick Summary
This discussion addresses a common query regarding choosing the correct tax regime (old or new) when claiming relief under Section 89 for arrears received in the current financial year. The user has previously opted for the old regime but wishes to switch to the new one for FY 2023-24. Guidance confirms that relief under Section 89 must be claimed based on the default tax regime applicable for the specific financial year the arrears pertain to.

You can easily choose
As per Rule you can file Relief 89 under Default Tax Regime of particular FY Year. If you to for FY 2023-24 there is default Regime is New then you must have to file under New Regime only. Not in any other. I confirm with CPC, Income Tax Dept.
