Can i claim amount as relief under 89 ? Employeer clearly mentioned said amout as termination compensation on final settlement but on form 16 all amount shown as salary.
Please advice.

As written undertaking has already been given by your employer so if violated by him, it gives a legal right in your favour to initiate legal action against him.
