Family pension arrears and relief
Updated . Every paid answer is checked by a CA. Free AI answers are labelled until a CA verifies them.
Facts
Sec 89 relief extends to family pension received in arrears. Family pension is taxed as income from other sources, and the same Form 10E Annexure I computation applies.
Provisions and law
- Sec 89 (now Sec 157)Relief when salary or family pension is received in arrears or in advance
- Sec 57 (now Sec 93)Deduction from family pension under other sources
Analysis
If ₹2,40,000 of family pension arrears for two earlier years came this year, enter each year's share in Annexure I with her income for those years. She can also claim the standard deduction on family pension available under the law. If her income in those years was low, relief may be meaningful.
Conclusion
- Get the arrears statement by year from the bank or pension office
- Gather her income for those years
- File Form 10E for her
- Claim relief in her ITR
