18 January 2016 The company has provided rent free accommodation to one of the employees as he was transferred to another city. His salary structure includes HRA. The rent free accommodation will be taxable as perquisite. My question is can the employee claim HRA benefit as he is paying rent for the house occupied by his family in his home town?
