I had got an arrear pension from epfo in the month of Sept 2024 . This arrear amount was for previous six years , now I am retired and submitting my returns regularly. At the time of releasing the arrear the epfo did not deduct income tax . Now after 7 months they are asking me to deposit the tax amount Rs 341000 in their account by DD . 

As the arrear amount is previous years also i want avail relief under section 89.

So can  I write to them that I will submit my return and avail relief of 89 and pay the balance tax to the tax authority directly, is it a good approch ? Kindly answer
