24 January 2011 Excess salary was drawn by the employee due to wrong calculation on the part of the accounts. Now the excess salary are being recovered on installment basis from his salary. Whether the employee will get tax benefit on the recovered amount, on the ground that he was already paid TAX on the excess amount in the previous years? Thanx..
