15 December 2021 Hi Experts,
My query is wrt A.Y.2020-21. I am a salaried employee and filed my return claiming refund for Rs.45k. After processing of return, I was given refund only for Rs.25k. On checking intimation u/s 143(1), i found that HRA and Uniform allowance exemption have not been allowed to me. Though my employer allowed both these after verifying and taking relevant documents, which are genuine documents and not manipulated/fake. Based on this intimation, I submitted first for rectification and after than a grievance wrt this rectification stating all the facts and sharing all the relevant documents at the income tax portal. Still both the rectification and then that grievance got declined by CPC and no changes were done in the return details processed by them. Hence I am deprived for a less refund and don't' know how to proceed further after all this. Request you to kindly advise what can be done after this, as this is first time I was denied HRA/Uniform allowance exemptions by IT office.

15 December 2021 If you have no house property of your own, HRA should be allowed. Need to check ITR for any reason for non allowance of HRA.
OR you may file appeal against the order.
