In case of of arrears relief under section 89 is available. since the differences is only of one year I think you should ignore it,because there is not a lot difference in tax rates under income tax . so kindly file salary of February 19 20 received in April 20 as a income of previous year 20-21 in assessment year 21-22.

My 26 As shown less amt from income shown in form 16 (l.e. My form 16 shown approx 8 lac salary including feb month salary but my 26 As shown approx 7 lac on which TDS is Deducted )
so now can i reduced income from form 16 because as per 26 as TDS is deducted only on 7 lac amount )
