Dear Sir,

    I am working at Bangalore, but my family stays in my house at Hyderabad. I am staying at a hotel room on a long term basis.  Can my hotel bills be qualified for HRA ? 

The hotel room daily price gives me free wifi and break fast. If I separate them out in my bill, and pay the hotel room charges alone, then would it help ? I could ask my hotel to let out the room to me on a long term basis,

Regards
