How to reflect HRA Arrears in ITR-1

I am a central govt employee. I have two queries :-

(1) I have received HRA dues for the period Jul-Mar 2008 in the FY 2009-10. I have also received HRA for the period Apr-Oct 09 in the same FY year. My query is whether I can claim exemption of HRA for both the periods in the IT Return for the AY 2010-11? ( I believe I should be doing so because I have received the dues in the current FY, but a confirmation from your side would be welcome)

(2) I would like to know at which para/place in the ITR-1 Form do we need to mention the HRA exempt income and secondly are the details of the calculation of HRA exempt income, to be attached as a separate sheet to the ITR. If so is there a particular format for the same? I have calculated the details month wise because of change in basic pay and D.A. during the year.

Thanks in anticipation.

Dear Anurag,

HRA is shown in Form 16 itself & u just have to show the exempt amount under "Allowances Exempt under section 10"  simply copy the figure from Form 16....No separate calculation is required........

HRA Arrears will also appear in Form 16 itself, Relief u/s 89(1)  can be claimed by making separate calculation in Form 10E...........

No u dont want to attach anything with ITR. U just have to take figure from Form No. 16 and put in the exemption under section 10.

U/s. 89(1) i dont know i hve to check.

SORRY THERE WAS SYSTEM PROBLEM. HENCE ANSWER REPEATED.

Dear Amir and Ameet,

Thanks for sparing the time and answering the queries.

I haven't yet received my Form 16, so I'll wait for it and then take action as advised.

Regards
