13 November 2019 Firstly we have to see , whether he is employment from 01.04.19 to 30.09.19. If so, the new employer is to work out TDS for the previous employment and present employment. Then HRA eligibility as per IT act to be worked out separately for the first six months and another six months separately based on HRA receipt . If in the previous empolyment , no HRA is paid, then house rent receipt to be considered only from 01.10.19 to 31.03.2020. Similatrly if there is no employment in the first six months, no house rent benefit to be given.
