Hi All,

Me and my family doesn't live on registered land. There is just some pages(not registry) which says it belongs to my father. We have purchased it from someone in year 2000.

1. Can I claim the HRA by paying rent to my father?
2. Can I claim the HRA by paying rent to my mother?

Quick Summary

This discussion explores whether a salaried individual can claim House Rent Allowance (HRA) tax benefits by paying rent to their parents. The original poster clarified they are employed, not self-employed, and are seeking to understand the validity of paying rent to their father or mother for tax purposes, even though the property ownership is not formally registered. The core question revolves around the legitimacy of such rent payments for HRA claims.
