Dear Sir,

An employee have received Arrears of Salary of three years (i.e., from FY 2013-14 to FY 2015-16) in the AY 2017-18, and while e-filing his IT returns he claimed Relief u/s 89 & flied Form 10E and filed his IT returns.

Now, again in AY 2018-19 he has received some more Arrears of salary pertaining to same three years mentioned above (.i.e., from FY 2013-14 to FY 2015-16) and aslo Arrears of salary of previous year i.e., of FY 2016-17. 

My query is Can he claim Relief u/s 89 arrears of salary again of FY 2013-14 to FY 2015-16 ? As he already claimed Relief u/s 89 of FY 2013-14 to FY 2015-16 in AY 2017-18.

Humbly Thank you in advance.
