Income tax treatment for recovery of excess HRA paid during 2013-2018

This query is : Resolved 

20 February 2022 Sir,

My employer (PSU) is deducting an amount (60 instalment started from this FY) towards excess House Rent Allowance (HRA) paid during the FY 2013-18 under head sundry deduction and not under HRA.

Sir, my question is, now how to treat this amount while filling income tax return.  It is pertinent to mention here that I have not take any benefit of HRA as I have my own house and tax was deducted during that period.



Please reply so that I can get income tax deduction for the amount deducted during this FY as my employer is not deducting this HRA recovery from my current year HRA.


I shall be highly thankful for you advise.

20 February 2022 Ask your employer to reduce the recovery from the current year HRA/salary and deduct TDS accordingly. In such a case deduction can be claimed

24 February 2022 No they are not accepting to reduce HRA and deducting the amount under sundry deduction which has no effect on tax.

Please advise so that tax rebate can be claimed by individual level

24 February 2022 No they are not accepting to reduce HRA and deducting the amount under sundry deduction which has no effect on tax.

Please advise so that tax rebate can be claimed by individual level

25 February 2022 Is it within 10% of your taxable income.

25 February 2022 Yes my gross salary is 1.03 lakhs monthly and deduction is 10,000/- monthly

25 February 2022 Convince your employer to deduct TDS considering recovery.
If not reduce the amount from your salary and file ITR upto 10% variation allowed.

26 February 2022 Thanks for your valuable reply.
