Rental Agreement for HRA Exemption

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies that a rent receipt is sufficient for claiming House Rent Allowance (HRA) exemption, making a formal rental agreement unnecessary for tax purposes. It also outlines the tax exemption limits for housing property interest in FY 2020-21, stating a £200,000 limit for self-occupied properties and no limit for let-out properties.

22 January 2021 Hi Sir,

Need one urgent help

One employee Income from House Property is Rs. 216570 (After all calculation)
Housing Loan Interest of that property is Rs. 445581

So my question is what is the net amount

Rs. 445581- Rs. 216570= Rs. 216570 (Rs. 200000 Loss from House property)

OR

RS. 200000 - Rs.216570= Rs 16570 (Income)

Please help me

Regards
Ratheesh
