27 December 2020 Hello,
Due to pandemic I had to move from my work location to native but I didn't vacate my place at work location. I paid rent at my work location, also I paid rent even at native to my parents. At home I didn't pay rent as such but I had spent equivalent amount of rent towards the home expense. Am I eligible to claim HRA for native too in such case ? Kindly note I don't have any transaction proofs nor rental agreement to show rent proof other than rent receipt. Kindly advise.
