Caliming HRA for portion of a year

417 views 3 replies

I stayed in 2 rented houses , one from Apr-2022 to Oct-2022 and another from Nov-2022 to March-2023

I had to shift house because of job change and HRA and Basic component of these 2 jobs are also different.

But in the new house owner is not giving his PAN details , but owner from old house used to give PAN.Because of this confusion I didnt claim any HRA from my new employer.

So I am planning to claim HRA only for Apr-2022 to Oct-2022 during IT returns filing.

AFAIK , I need to consider basic/HRA from my payslip for Apr-2022 to Oct-2022 and also rent for same period while calculating HRA exemption. Is that right?

If it is correct how do I give the details of this methodology of calculating HRA exemption in ITR-2 or inform Income Tax office about this? ITR-2 asks only for final exemption amount.

Can I just claim now and worry about it when I am asked to give more details of HRA exemption?

Thanks!

As per section 10(13A) of the income Act , read with rule 2A of the income tax rules ( please refer), you Can claim significant part of HRA as deduction .

Deduction is available least of the following amount.

1) Actual HRA received

2) 50% of the basic salary + DA those who are living in metro cities like (Dehli, Mumbai Kolkata, Chennai)

3) 40% of the basic salary thoses who living in non metros

4) Actual rent paid  less 10% of Basic salary + DA

PAN of landlord is required for to claim deduction.

Yeah I understand the HRA rule.

What I am asking is can I calim it for half of the year? as for the other half I dont have landlore PAN number

In my first  reply  , I had mentioned  word "  Deduction "   due to oversight  , so please  read  " Exemption"  instead  of  Deduction .
