Housing Rent_Residing in-Law's parent House


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
A woman is asking if she can claim House Rent Allowance (HRA) deductions while living in her mother-in-law's parents' house, paying rent to her mother-in-law, and with the property owned by her father-in-law. The consensus is that a rent agreement with the father-in-law and payment receipts are necessary to substantiate the claim. Rent slips alone are not sufficient; a formal rent agreement is mandatory.
