Hra not exempted in form 16 by employer

Tax queries 9235 views 9 replies

Hi Experts,

 

I am a salaried employee and I have changed job in month of Jan 2013.

So I have two Form 16, one from previous employer and one from current employer.

At the time of leaving the previous company I had submitted Rent slips and other investment document proofs.

However due to some problem those document didn’t reached to concerned department and they have not exempted my HRA component under u/s 10.

Also my current employer have not exempted my HRA, as I could not furnish the document(rent slip on time) due to relocation.

 

How can i take the HRA exempt?

If i mention the 'income under head salary' from both employer after deducting HRA will there be any issue? As amount on Form 16 provided by both employer and amount I will be mentioning in ITR-1(TDS tab) different?

Dear Atulb,

YOu can claim the deduction of HRA and all other investments, not shown in form 16. there is no problem at all in claiming extra deductions while filing ITR. It may be possible that few deductions were omitted during generating form 16, but you can claim them at the time of filing ITR.

generally T.D.S on salary will be calculated based on information given by you i.e Income from all other sorurces and 80C deductions and even income from other employees also.so it does not matter for u even though T.D.S is deducted at higher rate as they did not consider H.R.A.while filing ur ITR ,u need to claim exemption regarding H.R.A wheather ur employer consider it at time of deduction of  T.D.S.

TDS is nothing just like advance,how u adjust ur advance against final liability u should adjust T.D.S against ur income tax payable.here FINAL LIABILITY is computation of tax as per ur relevant liability

correct me if i anm wrong

you are absolutely right nuli swami. tax liability is finalised at the time of ITR filing.

Can u help me wch form ITR1 or ITR 2 ( and how which sheets ) shud i use to correct the HRA amount which has not been considered by my previous employer in preparation of Form 16. 

 

Thanks

 

 I was employed with 02 employers in FY 13-14.
    However, by while calculating IT & as per form 16 HRA deduction has not been considered.
    Though tax deducted overall by 02 employers is less than my liability, I intend paying balance tax as self assessment tax with taking HRA in consideration
    Can I claim this deduction while filing ITR & how?
    Which form to use ITR I or II

Regards
