Quick Summary

Yes, you can claim House Rent Allowance (HRA) exemption even if it wasn't mentioned in your Form 16. You'll need to calculate the exempt amount according to the rules in the Income Tax Act 1961, specifically Section 10(13A) and Rule 2A, when filing your tax return manually. This benefit is available to employees paying rent for their accommodation.

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.
