HRA tax exemption queries

This discussion explores the possibility of claiming House Rent Allowance (HRA) tax benefits when paying rent to a parent in a different city while also renting a property in your current location. The consensus is that your wife can likely claim HRA as she pays rent for your Noida residence. For your claim, it's less certain and may depend on proving the rental arrangement, especially if you don't receive an HRA component in your salary. You might need to explore Section 80GG if HRA isn't part of your pay.
