04 September 2013 Hi,

Can wife claim HRA exemption in her salary even her name is not mentioned in rent agreement. Rent agreement is made between landlord and her husband name.

Both husband and wife share 50%-50% share of rent amount and paying to the landlord. Husband claimed his half of the share of rent as exemption in his salary to save tax.

Can wife also claim her share of rent as exemption in her salary. Please note the wife name is not mentioned in rent agreement.

Please reply ASAP.

Regards

Ajay

05 September 2013 Inference of rule 2A(b) is, payment of rent is mandatory.
Though rent payment is shared, there is no evidence to prove the payment as rent by wife since the rent agreement is in husband's name. Therefore, wife looses the benefit of section 10 (13A).
