Dev HRA is to be considered for the place where the person actually does his/her job. In your case, assessee pays rent for his wife residing with his parents at another city. So, you wont be eligible to claim HRA exemption.

You can claim HRA exemption for your own accomodation at the job place or in that city.

 

Thanks

Section 10 (13A), any special allowance specifically granted to an assessee by his employer to meet expenditure actually incurred on payment of rent (by whatever name called) in respect of residential accommodation occupied by the assessee..... 

words occupied by the assessee makes it clear that in this case one cannot get exemption. 

Thanks a lot for this information. I have just one more question...

 

In case a person occupies two rented accmodations, one at the place where he is employed say at Haridwar and another at place where his family is residing say at Delhi & where he visits periodically (8-10 days), whether the entire rent paid is eligible for calculating HRA exemption.
