Arrears received for the calculating or receiving year should not be included in Table A for arriving relief u/s 89. That is if you received arrears from AY 2016-17 to AY 2018-19 and you are supposing to calculate Relief u/s 89 in AY 2018-19 then the Arrears portion for the FY 2017-18 may be included in that years total only. Not to be shown in Table A as arrears. Because current year arrears are not considered as arrears being received in the same year. Please check with your 89 relief preparation software or utility.

ofcourse you are correct ! but if he has received the arrears of previous years in the current year, he is eligible to claim releif under section 89.
