To save you from any additional tax burden due to delay in receiving income, the tax laws allow a relief under section 89(1). In simple words, you do not pay more taxes if there was a delay in payment to you and you were in a lower tax bracket for the year you received the money. For claiming relief under section 89(1) for arrears of salary received, it is mandatory to file Form 10E with the Income-tax department. If Form 10E is not filed and relief is claimed, then the taxpayer is most likely to receive notice from the Income-tax department for not filing Form 10E.
