1-page dense checklist built around a real-number case study.

What's inside

The exact documents you need: employer's arrears statement, Form 16, prior-year ITRs, regime proof for each year
How Section 89(1) relief math actually works, spread year by year
The 5 specific traps that kill a relief claim — Form 10E timing, the ₹5L rebate cliff, wrong year-wise spread, special-rate income, regime mismatch across years
When the relief is largest, and when it's not worth claiming at all
A real case study: ₹3.73L in arrears turned a ₹9,800 refund into ₹37,000+

Salaried and government employees who received pay commission, DA, or promotion arrears.

File Form 10E after the ITR — or not at all — and the CPC disallows the entire relief during 143(1) processing. Not partial. The whole claim.
