Tax on Salary Arrears

Tax Glossary Definition

Tax on Salary Arrears

When an employee receives arrears or back pay for earlier years, the entire amount becomes taxable in the year it is received. However, the taxpayer may claim relief under Section 89(1) to mitigate the higher tax impact caused by bunching of income.

Example: If an employee receives ₹1,00,000 as arrears in the current financial year, the tax is calculated after considering the relief available under Section 89(1).
