Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether Mr A can claim House Rent Allowance (HRA) exemption when he pays rent via cheque to his brother, Mr B, who is the actual tenant with the house owner. The consensus is that HRA exemption is possible if Mr A can provide documentation, such as a subletting agreement or MOU, proving his tenancy. While a claim might be attempted without documents, having proper paperwork ensures admissibility.

If there is a document I.e subletting agreement beteeen Mr. A and B or MOU between Mr. A and B to prove Mr. A as the tenant too, then yes.
Yes hra exemption can be available

A claim should be provable for final admissibility. If you want, you could take a chance without documents now. Or you can be sureshot of the claim by preparing requisite documents.
