Claim of Hra exemption

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

If you're a salaried individual looking to claim House Rent Allowance (HRA) exemption by paying rent to your parents, a formal rent agreement is highly advisable, and often required upon query. While it can typically be executed on a Rs. 100 stamp paper and notarised, it's best to check your local state's prevailing rates. Remember, HRA exemption under Section 10 (13A) is only available under the old tax regime, as the new tax regime disallows many deductions including HRA.
