The Income tax Department has issued notification on 11.01.2010, for envisaging procedures for income tax deduction from salaries under Section 192 of the Income tax 1961 for the financial year 2009-10. It could be seen that there is no major deviation from the tax proposals announced by the Government in the recent buget.
This circular could be taken as compendium of all the earlier instructions issued by the Income tax department for the estimation of Income tax in respect of salaried class for the financial year 2009-10.
This circular also gains significance in view of categorical announcement by the Income tax department relating to arrears of income received by the emloyees during this year. It reads as follows.
Relief When Salary Paid in Arrear or Advance:
3.5 Under sub-section (2A)of section 192 where the assessee, being a Government servant or an employee in a company, co-operative society, local authority, university,institution, association or body is entitled to the relief under
Sub-section (1) of Section 89, he may furnish to the person responsible for making the payment referred to in Para (3.1), such particulars in Form No. 10E duly verified by him, and thereupon the person responsible as aforesaid shall
compute the relief on the basis of such particulars and take the same into account in making the deduction under Para(3.1)

The forum should take up the matter with the IT department to increase its exemption limit. As this is reimbursement and not the allowance which is given to individual or its exemption limit may be increased and also the Transport allowance exemption limit may be increased after the 6th PC.
Even the Special Compensatory allowance are exempted upto certain limit which were given after 5th PC and exemption limits have not been increased after 6th PC

I have used your tool and with this I am able to save Rs. 9246 under section 89(1) because of distributing 60% arrears in previous years. I have two queries.
1. Whether I have to% submit revise retruns again to IT department of all my previous years ?
2. As 40% arrear was not bifurcated last year so now whether I can get any relief for the said amount and I can get the refund after filling revise returns by including the 60% bifurcation for whcih I will be claiming benefit under section 89(1) this year.
Regards,
Bhupinder Pathak

Query 1: You need not file revised returns for the previous years. You have to file Form 10E along with copies of previous returns to your employer, who would in turn verify its correctness and allow the relief claimed by in the IT return (ITR-1 & 2)
Query 2: As such there is no provision to claim the unclaimed relief pertaining to the previous year, now.
