Dear Madam/ Sir,
I am a retired govt. employee (retired in 30.04.2017). In the assessment year 2019-20, I have received the arrears of my salary for the assessment year 2017-18. And I have filed the ITR-1 for the AY 2019-20 including the arrears salary (which includes arrears HRA of Rs.3,860/- under Sec 10(13A). In the ITR, I have shown Rs.60,000/- towards the house rent paid under section 80GG.
Now, I have received a notice from the income tax department that "I cannot claim deduction under both of the sections as above.
So, kindly clarify
1. Whether the arrears salary income can be shown in the current year ITR?
2. Where I am wrong in filing ITR?
Expecting an early response.
Regards,
