Taxability of bonus


17 June 2013 Dear experts,

My salary structure contain fix quarterly bonus of 25000. The bonus of last quarter (Jan-Mar 2013) was paid to me with the salary of the month of April-2013 (on 5th May 2013).

Now in form 16 of Fy 2012-13 this 25000 bonus is not shown and will be shown in form 16 of FY 2013-14.

So in which year’s ITR I suppose to show above bonus of 25000 as income?

17 June 2013 as per income tax act salalry will taxable accural or received which ever in earlier

17 June 2013 Bonus is taxable in the year of Receipt. So you should show under FY2013-14


17 June 2013 Thanks for your views

But this is a fix bonus. So in my view the income is accrued in fy 2012-13 and therefore should be taxed in fy 2012-13. Moreover salary includes bonus, so why bonus only is taxed on received basis
Please provide me any reference and correct me if I am wrong

17 June 2013 IF this is a Contractual Bonus then its treatment would be like Salary. Hence Accrual Basis.

17 June 2013 So is it all right that the above bonus of Q4 is not included in my form 16 of fy 2012-13

That will be included in form 16 of 2013-14
