Dear Sir, HRA exemption ommitted in form-16 issued by the company, whether we can avail exemption while filing of ITR-1 or not.

Quick Summary
If your employer omitted your House Rent Allowance (HRA) exemption in your Form 16, you can generally still claim it when filing your Income Tax Return (ITR-1). However, the ideal scenario is to request your employer to issue a revised Form 16 that includes the HRA details. If the omission relates to Assessment Year 2019-20, revising your return may no longer be possible, but for AY 2020-21, you should be able to amend it.

Yes you can avail but please ask your employer to include HRA in form 16
Form 16 already issued then how
Then ask your employer to include hra and issue a new form 16
Request your employer to issue modified Form 16 to you. Employer will issue otherwise he will face short TDS deduction query.
Hii Kapadia Pravin. Plse correct me if I am wrong.
I think the issue here is HRA exemption is allowed or omited in Employer issued Form 16 to the Employee. If HRA exemption is omited, then taxable salary will increase and TDS deductible on such increased salary will also increase and automatically that Employer would deduct high TDS. So there is no question of short TDS deduction here and obviously he deducted more TDS than he is required to
Naveen Sir you are absolutely correct. it pertains to A.y.2019-20
Thanks bro. But if it pertains to AY 2019-20 we can't revise the return and claim HRA now as the last date was 30th Nov 2020. We can only revise for AY 2019-20 if we receive some intimation from the IT department. I'm sorry. Now We can only revise if it relates to AY 2020-21
