This discussion addresses a common problem encountered when filing ITR 2, specifically concerning the House Rent Allowance (HRA) section. A user reported being prompted for 'Actual House Rent paid' even though only pension income was declared under Salary. The solution provided was to ensure the questionnaire option related to HRA claims was set to 'No'. This workaround, along with entering a zero value, successfully resolved the issue, allowing the user to validate and file their ITR 2.

Sir Attaching the screen shot re the problem whilst filing ITR2. Only Pension income has been reported under Salary but the system asks for Actual House Rent paid.
