Got salary arrears after resigning? Use Form 39 to avoid higher tax in 2026–27

Wait 5 sec.

Resigning from a job in FY 2025-26 and receiving salary arrears in FY 2026-27 can lead to a higher tax liability. To avoid this, taxpayers must now use the new Form 39 for Tax Year 2026-27, replacing the older Form 10E, to claim relief under Section 89(1) and ensure accurate tax calculation.
