In the case of rental receipts for claiming HRA, many of the employees are facing a problem as owners of property/landlords are not furnishing their PAN. What is the recourse available to the employees in these cases. Can the Employer ignore the PAN and take the rental receipts with details furnished such as the name and address of the landlord along with the address of the let out property? Is there any win-win situation to both the employees and employers? Regards

In case the landlord does not have a PAN, a declaration to this effect from the landlord along with the name and address of the landlord should be filed by the employee.

Stop paying rent. Send a notice through regd. post asking his PAN and also clarify that rent by cheque would be paid only if he submits the copy of his PAN card. Also state in the notice that the loss if any due to disallowance of HRA would be deducted from the rent.

Ur employer may not object if u provide declaration . . As it is also allowed under cbdt notification which has given this effect no need to go for any actions on ur owner . . He may simply ask u to vacate and same problem may repeat with other owner . . So just provide a declaration
