Sir I am in a temperory govt job and recieving a salary around 75k per month..since 5 months i didn't recieve salary due to some technical problem and now they are planning to pay me whole amount in financial year 2024..due to this my slab will change from 20%to 30% and i need to pay more tax without any salary hike..can you suggest some solution for that..

Ans: Hi Rajeev
Salary is taxable on receipt or due basis, whichever is earlier. Hence technically you are liable to be taxed for the salary in the year it was due to be received regardless of the fact that it was not actually paid to you.

In case you do not have any other source of income, this 5 months salary would not attract any tax under either of the tax regimes so you could go ahead disclose this income in the current year and not in 2024
