Quick Summary
This discussion addresses how to declare salary arrears received in a later financial year within ITR 1. The user received February 2019-20 salary in April 2020 (AY 2021-22) and is unsure whether to declare it in AY 2020-21 or AY 2021-22. While Section 89 offers relief for arrears, the advice leans towards filing in AY 2021-22. A key point raised is the discrepancy between Form 16 and Form 26AS regarding the declared salary and TDS, with the user questioning if they can reduce their declared income based on Form 26AS.
In case of of arrears relief under section 89 is available. since the differences is only of one year I think you should ignore it,because there is not a lot difference in tax rates under income tax . so kindly file salary of February 19 20 received in April 20 as a income of previous year 20-21 in assessment year 21-22.
But due to feb month salary added In ITR a.y. 2020-21 my return is shown tax payable because salary is taxable on accrual basis , due to that my retrun show tax payable
My 26 As shown less amt from income shown in form 16 (l.e. My form 16 shown approx 8 lac salary including feb month salary but my 26 As shown approx 7 lac on which TDS is Deducted ) so now can i reduced income from form 16 because as per 26 as TDS is deducted only on 7 lac amount )
