30 December 2019 Hi Members / Experts,

My HRA (as listed in payroll) is 17500/- per month, and incidentally, the rent I am currently paying (in Bangalore) is 17,500/- per month too. I have three queries, listed below – kindly help me:

1. How much of tax I am saving by claiming HRA? (I am under 20% tax bracket).
2. My landlord is not willing to provide his PAN; he says, “I am too old and I don’t have a PAN.”
3. However, he is willing to provide a declaration stating “No PAN”.
a. However, my company is not accepting any declaration. My company says: either provide PAN and take HRA benefit, else, lose it all. What can I do in this scenario.
4. In this scenario, can I take the declaration and claim HRA from an external source?

Thanks in advance.

02 January 2020 If your company is not accepting the declaration, don't worry. Let the company not give you HRA benefit and deduct tax. You can claim that deduction while filing your Return and get the refund for tax deducted on account of the same. For calculating the tax benefit on HRA deduction, your Basic is also needed.
