Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the necessity of a rent agreement for claiming HRA exemption. While a rent agreement isn't strictly mandatory for the exemption itself, a rent receipt is generally required. For salaried employees submitting documents to their company, a receipt is sufficient. However, if you're claiming HRA additionally when filing your Income Tax Return (ITR) and don't have a receipt, a legal document like a rent agreement becomes crucial to avoid risks.

Yes rent agreement is mandatory not for claiming hra exemption.
Atleast rent receipt is required. Else it is better to make rent agreement

If you are a salaried employee then you must submit a receipt to your company.

If it's not there in form 16 and claiming additionally at the time of filing ITR then it is risky area and you must have legal document.
