19 December 2012 Requirement to Claim HRA:
1. Employment 2. Rented House. 3. HRA
.
The employee has to take a house on rent nearby his place of employment and to meet the rental expenses his employer has to give
an allowance known as HRA.
.
If Employee receives HRA but does not pay rent for the house, or, he pays rent but in turn does not receive any amount from his employer as HRA, then HRA can not be claimed.
.
As a legal document- Rent Agreement or Rent Receipts will suffice.
.

19 December 2012 2. Conveyance Allowance:
If you are talking about Rs. 800/per month
Allowance, it is popularly termed as Transport Allowance- which is meant to meet the cost of commuting between place of work and residence.
Whereas Conveyance Allowance is given to meet the cost of travelling (local) for performance of the duty or company's work.

The employer shows deduction in this regard in Form 16 and that only is sufficient.

19 December 2012 Housing Loan taken by Parent and repayment by son:

For claiming Interest there must be income from house property (IFHP) and for IFHP there should be owned house.
.
For claiming Principal Repayment Loan must be taken by the assessee (son). If he discharges the obligations of his parents it can not be said that he is repaying his own loan.

20 December 2012 Thank you very much sir

In form 16 Part B conveyance allowance is mentioned as Rs 16950 and in sub part 2 of form 16 (allowances exempt u/s 10) 9600 is mentioned... my question is whether we can claim the excess balance of 7350 (16950-9600)

20 December 2012 It is of the nature of Transport Allowance and you can not claim Rs. 7350/-.
