Pls Advise:

Mr.A receives HRA from his employer and it is taken as fully taxable. He pays rent for the last 4 months of the FY.

Is he eligible for deduction under Sec 80GG ?? If so, how do we calculate the actual amount of  deducton for the 4 month period ??

"An assessee is entiltled to deduction in respect of 80GG if he hasn't  been received HRA which qualifies for exemption under section 10(13A) of the Act."

So in this case he is not eligible to claim deduction under 80GG.

But in this case, though he receives HRA, he isn't availing exemption under Sec 10(13A)

The Act clearly states that   "An assessee is entiltled to deduction in respect of 80GG if he hasn't  been received HRA which qualifies for exemption under section 10(13A) of the Act."

It is irrespective of whether he claims exemption for HRA or not.

Here in this case it is clearly mentioned that the employee receives HRA,so he is not eligible for deduction under 80GG.

 

 

Organizations using this method calculate HRA exemption each month, and add the monthly HRA exemption values to arrive at the exemption for the year.
 
1. Monthly HRA exemption amount — after applying the “least of three” rule for each month — from April to July and from October to March = Rs 20,000 per month.
2. Monthly HRA exemption amount — after applying the “least of three” rule — for August = Rs 0.
3. Monthly HRA exemption amount — after applying the “least of three” rule — for September = Rs 12,500.
The total of HRA exemption amounts across all months = Rs 212,500 for the year.
