X claim HRA on full amount of rs.1,00,000/-
Can somebody please suggest me and provide any ruling or any supporting .
Hi, in my opinion RS 70000 being paid by the company will be perquisite in your hand by virtue of section 17(2) as your question can concluded as payment of Rs 100000 is being made by the company directly to the lender and deduction is being made from your salary.
No double benefit can be availed under the provisions of the incomtax act and therefore you can not claim for house rent allowance by virtue of section 10(13A).
any amount paid by the employer on account of rent for employee amounts to perquisites and will be included in the salary by virtue of section 17 and when the amount is included, the same is eligible for deduction for HRA............
