I am paying a Rent of Rs. 19K per month (excluding Maintainence). The landlord is not ready to give me the PAN, which is a requisite for rent payment >1lakh for the previous year, however he can provide me rent receipts. The HRA claimed in my previous organisation is Rs. 1L wherein the actual is much higher. Can I claim the actual amount of HRA deduction? (which will be different from the amount mentioned in the form 16?).

Quick Summary

This discussion addresses challenges with HRA claims when a landlord refuses to provide their PAN, which is required for rent payments exceeding £1 lakh annually. The user is seeking to claim the actual HRA amount, which differs from what was declared at their previous employer, and is asking if this is possible without the landlord's PAN. The advice given suggests that claiming the full amount without the landlord's PAN is not possible through the employer.
