24 May 2011 Sir

To claim the maximum tax rebate against the HRA, employee submits rent receipt 60% of his basic pay. If the basic pay is 150000, they submits rent receipt of 90000 to claim full HRA rebate. Is merely submitting the rent receipt correct OR the employer can ask some other document such as lease papers etc to check the authenticity of the rental claim. Is there anything in the Act regarding the same? Please clarify

Thanks
