Hi,
I had some confusion on how the law can be interpreted.
1. Can the person who was staying aboard claim an HRA in India ? The person gets a salary in india on which TDS is deducted already. He gets an allowance aboard. He has his parents in mumbai and pays the living allowance to them every month. He wants to show the living allowance of the parents as HRA.
2. Can a person working in Pune can claim an HRA for mumbai? The person has a house in mumbai owned by his parents. He stays every weekend in mumbai. He wants to pay the HRA to his parents.Can a person rent 2 places in 2 different cities i.e. one in mumbai and another pune ?
/articles/print_this_page.asp?article_id=1402 article says that "You can claim rent given to your parents. Let's say you live with parents and pay them rent. This makes your parents the landlords."
