Employer allowed relief in Form 16
Updated . Every paid answer is checked by a CA. Free AI answers are labelled until a CA verifies them.
Facts
Employers can give Sec 89 relief while computing TDS if you give them the details. But to claim relief in your return, you still need to file Form 10E on the portal yourself.
Provisions and law
- Sec 89 (now Sec 157)Relief when salary or family pension is received in arrears or in advance
- Sec 192(2A), Income-tax Act 1961Employee may give particulars to the employer to compute Sec 89 relief in TDS
Analysis
If Form 16 shows relief of ₹18,000 and you claim it in the ITR without Form 10E, CPC will disallow it and raise a demand. File Form 10E with the same figures your employer used. If your own computation differs, use the correct figures and expect the refund or demand to adjust.
Conclusion
- Ask the employer for the relief working
- File Form 10E on the portal with those figures
- Claim the same relief in the ITR
- Keep the employer's working and Form 10E together
