I am a state govt.officer.During financial year 2008-09,I have recieved salary from apr08 to jun08 only.since then I have not recieved salary as the govt. has not given postings to me untill now.I am not sure about getting salary for the balance period till I get my postings.As my income during fin. year 2008-09 is less than Rs 1.50 lakhs(as only 3 months salary recieved),do I need to file returns for assesment year 2009-10.If and when I recieve the arrears for the period jul 08 to mar09(if the govt. sanctions the period as duty),can I include this arrears in the income of fin.year 2009-10 and file returns in assesment year 2010-11,by claiming relief under sec 89(1)
