Yes, we can take exemption of HRA even if it is not declared in form 16. While filing the return, we have to calculate HRA exempt as per rules provided in Income Tax Act, and then we can take exemption for the same at the time of filing the return.

An employee can avail tax benefit on HRA as per the rules laid out in the law, provided he/she is paying rent and living on the rented accommodation. For most employees, House Rent Allowance (HRA) is a part of their salary structure. Although it is a part of your salary, HRA, unlike basic salary, is not fully taxable.
