An employee having own house in Bangalore is staying on rent somewhere approximately 8 kms far from his own house as that house in an industrial area and backward in infrastructure like school, hospitals, stationeries, etc. His employer contends that HRA benefits can't be availed as he has own house in the same city.
1. whether HRA benefits can be claimed if the two houses are in different municipal areas.?
2. whether HRA can be claimed even if it's under same city as the assessee is actually paying rent.?
3.whther HRA benefits can be claimed if the assessee offers some house rent income on that house irrespective of locality.?!
Thanks in advance.
