24 July 2013 IF HE SUBMITS ALL THE RECEIPTS THE EMPLOYER SHOULD CONSIDER THE SAME AND CAN ALLOW THE BENEFIT.
.
WHAT IS PROBLEM IN OBTAINING THE RENT AGREEMENT. CONSULT ANY ADVOCATE. HE WILL MANAGE.
.
GENERALLY, SUCH PROBLEMS MAY HAVE INDIRECT REASONS. EMPLOYER'S SATISFACTION MAY BE THE
MAIN REASON.
.
IF HRA HAS BEEN SHOWN IN FORM 16, EMPLOYEE CAN CLAIM EXEMPTION WHILE FILING HIS RETURN.
