HRA deduction for individual

My client is a salaried person who receives a HRA of ₹120000 per month, and he is covered under 10% surcharge criteria. He he lives in his own parents home. He used to pay HRA of 8000 pm just to not furnish PAN. His mother is home maker and just have a capital gains as her income. Can he just increase the HRA amount to around 40,000 pm and furnish the PAN of the parents and get the eligible deduction. What problem will he face if he furnishes this in his ITR?

Quick Summary
This discussion explores the possibility of a salaried individual claiming House Rent Allowance (HRA) deductions by paying rent to his parents. The key question is whether increasing the HRA amount and providing parents' PAN is feasible for tax benefits. It highlights the need for a formal rent agreement, bank transfers for rent payments, and the parents declaring rental income in their own tax returns. Potential tax liabilities for the parents, including tax on rental income and capital gains, are also discussed.

No problem, if the makes rent agreement with his parent/s, and the parent/s declare the income under their ITR.

Transfer the rent amount by bank transfer. Check for TDS liability, if any.

Your mother may have to pay tax on rent + capital gains based on the total income..
