Question

If someone has finished praying but has not yet said 'Oseh Shalom', and the congregation has reached the recitation of Tachanun, can he sit to say Tachanun without stepping back first?

Answer

He should step back, meaning he should lift his feet from their place, and then sit for Tachanun.
