Hello all, my 21-22 appraisal just arrived. And recieved arrears+bonus.

There was a deduction towards TAX Deducted at source in my salary slip (on arrears). I am all new to this. Can somebody guide how does this work? Can we get this money back? How to proceed to get this? anything else i should be aware of? Please support.

Bonus is taxable. It will be clubbed to your salary and taxed so TDS applies. No special methods available.

If you haven't invested in elss(mutual funds) or taken health insurance or NPS (National Pension Scheme) then u should do it and share the investment proofs with you employer, to avoid getting tds deducted next month onwards, and for the amount already deducted you can file your return after March'23 And get the refund

Congratulations on getting your arrears. What has happened is that your bonus is classified under salary / remuneration by your employer, which is the norm. So you're required to pay tax on it, which has been deducted by your employer who will submit it on your behalf. Can you get it back? You can't get the tax paid on bonus back specifically. However, you can employ various methods to relieve your overall tax burden and get some amount of your overall tax paid back as refund. There are various schemes for this, in case you're not aware of them already.

Upto 1.5 Lakhs on 80C - ELSS,PF,LIC.. Invest and Declare them with your employer. This should make you tax free. But whatever is already deducted as TDS can only be refunded to you when you submit your IT returns in June next year.

I have taken 4 LIC insurances and have been paying premium on monthly basis for 3+ years now. How will i use that to claim refund? Shall i provide all month-wise reciepts with my employer now? or file claim on next year?

You can claim refund while filling ITR next year.

All arrears are taxable on receipt basis and are taxable on that particular financial year.

Example -

April 22 to March 2023

Arrears 2 L 

Salary 8 L

HRA 2 L

Bonus 1L

Now this 13 lakhs is taxable for FY 2022-23 including past arrears and bonus if any.

And TDS amount can be adjusted while filling taxes next year probably in July or August. 

Refund if due will be credited in your savings account which you choose while filling ITR.

This takes 30-60 days post filling ITR.
