In city like Mumbai,Where having a flat at Mulund and residing at Andheri whether will be considered as same city.What will be answer,if the the flat is located at Kalyan
 

If the Assessee claiming HRA the condition is he and his family other than minor chaild can't having any house with in the same city. that is the condition Housing loan interest cocept is different it is irresepct of condition of HRA

Dear CA Aditya,

Do you have any backing, supporting for your statement. Any section, cirular, judgement ? You are requested to kindly provide the same.

Thanks and Regards

i think  their is no such prov. that if you are residing in same city in which your own house, you can't claim HRA benifit.

If their is such provision pls. provide detail.

this article will clear your doubt.

Can the deduction of hra could also be claimed if the assessee stays at other city (may be Rented/owned Property) & works & receives salary in other city???

 

it was written that property should be in some other city and to show as rent recd.... but what if parents reside there...then is it called as SOP property.

Are there in any changes in HRA deduction when place of residence and place of work and let out property is at different locations?
