Salary is Taxable on the basis of Receipt or Due, whichever is earlier. Now u r talking about Arrears Of Salary so its taxable in a year of receipt if same is not taxable on due basis..... for eg: If a person recv salary in FY 2011-12 as an arrears of salary for FY 2005-06. then its taxable in A.Y. 12-13 (on receipt basis) if the same was not taxable in A.Y. 06-07 (on due basis).
