Hi,
I pay 15000 as rent per month. My landlord initially agreed to provide PAN no and now did a complete U-turn and refusing to sign declaration or provide PAN. I transfer rent to his bank account every month and so it all the more doesn’t make sense as to why he is not providing his PAN no. I have however figured out his PAN number from a neighbour to whom he had sold the flat. So my question is
1. Will he get to know if I submit his PAN number without him knowing about it? Will it have any implication on me?
2. Or should I make the declaration of no PAN with his signature missing, and attach my bank account statement of transfer of rent every month to his account along with rent agreement?
I want to get the legitimate tax relief under HRA that I am entitled too at the same time don’t want the owner to ask me to vacate
