Sir,

i m not afraiding . Just had conversation with admin but still they are not admitiitng. The fellow rudely said, i can't change co. policy just for you .

Dear Vedant,

 In that case You can also provide the Bank Statement which gives evidence of Rent Payment and also you can give the Rent Agreement to satisfy theri EGO. After that if you have any problem then take the route of LAW.

Ya Vedant..

as i already said u have to submit either the rent agreement or the rent receipts....there is no point of producing the agreement once u have given the receipts

 Dear Vedant ,

From your pay details it is very much clear that you are in Govt depatment ,First of all your grade pay as well as DA should be included for the purpose of calculating the 10 % of salary so exemption u/s 10(13A) must be calculated on monthly basis as DA rates has been changed from 01.07.2009 (27 from 22)

Regarding rent agreement as all have said that it is not necessary /mandatory to produce the rent agreement to ur employer it you have produced the rent receipts and this is fact there is  no such provision in the act .As you are in Govt office you can easily demand the information from ur admin under which section /rules they are demanding such information .This can also be done under RTI act .

 Firstly, Single rent receipt will suffice but ultimately u have to convince ur employer about the payment........

Secondly, I dont think that there is an issue if Landlord is ready to give one receipt of consolidated amount then y not he can give 12 of such receipts mentioning monthly rent............

Futher, if u r asking it from employers perspective, that u should be accepting  single receipt or not then "Yes" u can......

Hello Amir,

I am asking from the Employers perspective. If the employees are claiming HRA by submitting a single premium receipt then should the Employer entertain such HRA deductions which seems to be hand made or not genuine House Rent Receipts.

Hi,

I have got my Form 16 from my employer for the last year. However, they do not have any pay structure like Basic, HRA, Conveyance etc., I get a consolidated pay every month after TDS.

Even if I produce the rent receipt, they are not willing to deduct it under HRA. Is there any way out, I can claim the HRA amount during filing my tax returns? If so, please let me know the procedure as well.

Thanks in advance.
