Facts
The ITR has a field for relief under Sec 89 in the tax computation part. The amount must match Form 10E. The ITR also asks for the Form 10E acknowledgement in some forms.
Provisions and law
- Sec 89 (now Sec 157)Relief when salary or family pension is received in arrears or in advance
- Rule 21A, Income-tax Rules 1962Manner of computing Sec 89 relief and Form 10E
Analysis
After salary and other income are filled, go to the tax paid and computation section and enter the relief, for example ₹16,400. The portal checks it against Form 10E on record. A mismatch can lead to relief being cut down to the Form 10E figure. Do not reduce salary for arrears.
Conclusion
- File Form 10E first
- Open the tax computation part of the ITR
- Enter the relief exactly as in Form 10E
- Check the final tax payable or refund
