Hello , One of my aunt works for a bank in Bangalore . She has taken a house for Rent @ Rs.7000/- per month. The Bank Reimburses Rs.4700/- per month out of Rs.7000/- . This Rs.4700/- pm is no where shown in her Salary Slip . However Rs.2088/- has been deducted for the entire year as House rent recovery. The House is not owned by the bank and the rental agreement is in her personal name itself . How shall this situation take effect in her computation ? HRA exemption cannot be availed as HRA does not become a part of her salary. Is it treated as a perquisite ? what amount is taxable and what exemptions can she claim ? is Section 80GG applicable to her ??
