I am a 23 year old currently working in an MNC on a WFH basis. My father has a government job which means I currently stay in government quarters with my parents and hence do not pay any rent. My grandparents however live in Kolkata, and I was wondering if I could take an HRA deduction from them if I can create a rental agreement with them, since I do not stay there most of the time.

Any guidance would be highly appreciated.

If your employer allows you to work from any city of India, you can plan to claim HRA as suggested.

If you are staying with grand parents and paying rent to them , then you can claim HRA.

But it may be risky. Try not go by these options .
You can go for tax planning like investment in tax saving instruments instead of above

IT dept is focussing on HRA and housing loan exemptions. So don't go for unethical practices of tax evasion which cause huge penalty
