Hra exemption

Puja (Associate) (28 Points)

21 March 2012  

Hello

My landlord is refusing to extend the rent agreement on my name as we have spent 4 years on the same property and is scared we may get legal rights to her property if we complete 5 years. However she has agreed to make a new rent agreement on my brother's name. My problem is how do I claim HRA if agreement and receipts are on brothers name. The fact is the rent will still be paid by me as my brother will not be able to afford it and I cannot afford to change my house for this year. So though I am actually paying rent I dont know how to claim it. My brother, myself and parents stay together

 

Thanks

Puja
