But, it is the tax relief for arrears (salary due) received in this year, and its tax liability arose in the year of its taxability, which as per form 10E has been shifted in previous years !!! So, the tax liability of earlier year when paid in this year......... interest will be charged or not? Actually its very fine point........ difficult to understand........ and without digitallization even department missed till this year........... but now many such things are activated......

Sir. I was actually refering to the salary paid by the employer in arrears. The salary paid in arrears was actually enjoyed by the employer all these years.. So charging interest on advance tax for earlier years on the employee is not justifiable right? because they haven't enjoyed any of the amount during that period. Isn't it to be charged from the employer because they enjoyed the money till now.

Apparantly it seems the fault of employer; but department here deals with employee....... who wishes to take advantage of salary arrears u/s. 89(1)...... So, department while considering the shifting the tax liability will take care of its due date. There was already refund issued for the same year, so one cannot see any TDS liability of employer in such case. 

If department had seen any TDS default of employer, it would have definitely taken action against him.
