Hra exemption

Tax planning 761 views 2 replies

Hi,

For claiming HRA Exemption as per section 10 in Income Tax Act. One has to submit the rent agreement and rent receipts in the name of the employee.

Now the query is that what if the rent agreement is in the name of the employee's husband, but she (employee) is paying half of the rent to the landlord.

Though the rent agreement and rent receipts are in the name of the husband, and as she is paying part rent to the landlord, can she claim HRA exemption by giving an undertaking that her husband is claiming only half of the rent exemption and she the other half? Please advise.

if she has evidence that she has paid the half of the rent then she can take exemption for the same.

if have receipt then take deduction
