02 June 2011Hello Experts,
I am working abroad on long term assignment from my company for 6 months.
I am getting Salary in USD in abroad and only basic indian salary plus few allowance in India.
I would like to know about the HRA claims during my tenure onsite.
As i have a rented flat in Delhi but now my company stopped paying the HRA component.
Can i claim the HRA while filing the return next year or not.
Kindly advise.
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Veenit

The HRA exemption is available subject to certain conditions.
The place of your employment is also having a consideration for the eligibility of the exemption.
You can claim HRA for the period of your stay in India.
