Hi, My office in city X has a hybrid work policy, so I work from city X for two days and reside in city Y for the rest of the five days. I have rented accommodations in both cities. Can I claim HRA for city Y even though my office is in city X?
Thanks
No. Consider it for only city X,
The rent in city Y is higher than in city X. If possible I would like to claim for city Y only.
Considering WFH conditions administered by employer, it should be accepted by the employer.
Can I claim the HRA exemption directly in the ITR if it is not accepted by the employer?
Yes, there is an option for that, but practically little difficult to convince ITD.
