Quick Summary
This discussion addresses a common query regarding House Rent Allowance (HRA) not appearing in Form 16B for an employee earning ₹17 lacs, including ₹3.65 lacs HRA. It clarifies that claiming HRA is generally not possible if it's not specifically declared in the tax form. The advice given is that employees should receive Form 16, not Form 16B, and it's suggested the user might be referring to Form 16 Part B.

Now a days it is not possible to claim HRA if it is not specifically declared in form 16.

If you are employee, then you should get form 16 and not form 16B..

I think he told FORM 16 PART B...

HRA not shown in Form 16 Part B:
• If the employer didn't consider HRA exemption (e.g. you didn't submit rent receipts, or opted for the new regime), you can still claim it in your ITR (old regime, filed by the due date). Compute HRA exemption: least of actual HRA (Rs 3.65 lakh), rent paid minus 10% of salary (basic + DA), and 50%/40% of salary. Show the exemption under Sec 10(13A) in the salary schedule.
• Keep rent receipts, the rent agreement and the landlord's PAN (rent above Rs 1 lakh).
• The CPC may raise queries since Form 16 doesn't show it. Respond with proof.

@ Mr. Aashok Kumar Sharma,
