Query on House Rent Allowance


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
An employee was promoted and transferred to X city but briefly returned to Z city for pending work. While in Z city, they received Z city HRA but claimed X city HRA. The HRA team denied the X city claim, citing a lack of a registered rent agreement for X city from the initial joining date. The employee needs advice on how to proceed with their HRA claim.

30 September 2024 I was previously working at the Z city location. Upon receiving a promotion, I was transferred to the X city location. After receiving the promotion order, I immediately joined the X city office within two days. However, I returned to the Z city location shortly after to complete some pending official work, where I stayed for about one month. After this, I returned to X city.

During this period, my HRA team provided me with the Z city HRA for that one-month stay, but I had claimed the X city HRA. However, the HRA team has denied my claim for X city HRA. Please suggest what I should do.

01 October 2024 Do you have registered rent agreement for house of X city from the date of your first joining X office?

01 October 2024 Sir, I have registered rent agreement for house at X city after 15 days of my joining X office.

01 October 2024 So, you are not eligible for HRA of the house in X, before that date.

11 October 2024 Good luck ....
