05 February 2011 In case you claim relief in respect to the year 1983, I do not think that you will get
any major relief as the tax slab and rates were higher, in compare to the AY 2011-12 or AY 2012-13.
*
U/s 89, you can claim relief considering as many years as you have received the arrears in respect thereof.
*
Step 1

A. First you have to calculate the tax liability on receipt basis.
Means considering the arrears as if income of the year. By considering the arrears tax liability is say...... 54000/-
*
B. Total Tax paid (Actual)in past 4 years to which the arrears are related is Say 50000/-
*
C. As such Actual Tax payments on Receipt Basis comes to 104000/-
*
In Second Step-
X. Add the arrears in respective 4 years
and find out the enhanced tax liability due to addition of such arrears of all the years individually.
Let the liability of Tax comes to64000/
*
Y. Without considering the arrears receipt -As certain the Liability for the current
year .... let it goes down to 35000/-
*
Z. Total Tax payable on Accrual basis comes to 64000+35000=99000
Step 3
-------
Relief which may be claimed in the current year's Return
is 104000-99000=5000
