Then apply section 10(13A) rules of HRA

13 November 2008 It is enough if he gives a declaration that he has received so much of rent from you. Ensure that the rent is paid by a/c payee cheque, to make your case stronger. There is no problem for the govt employee to earn rental income on his House property.
