05 February 2011 Hi,

HRA - House Rent Allowance means an allowance given to the employee to help or reduce the burden of paying rent, it will be give as cash remuneration.

However

RFA-n Rent Free Accomadation means an accomadation given by the employer for which there will be no requirement of payment of Rent by the Employee.
(The Employer may own d accomodation or the Employer may take the accomation & pay the rent to the landlord and give it the employee for Free)

In simple terms for

HRA - Money will be given to the Employee for paying up his rent for Accomadation

RFA - Accomodation itself will be free i.e he will be getting the benefit in
KIND.

HOPE I HAVE RESOLVED UR ISSUE.
