Name on rent receipt

Hi All,

My rental agreement has both me and my wife names. I used to take rent receipt with both me and my wifes name on it. We thought of showing the rent 50-50 to our respective employers, but my employee is not accepting such receipt. In that case, if i ask my landlord to  put only name on the receipt and then i show the entire rent amount to my employer, will that work? 

Can you advise on this. Thanks!

yes it works. you claim whole amount paid as hra.
Or you can ask
No...
Your employer is exactly correct...


You either separate receipt and claim the benefits.

yes,you claim HRA,

 

Thanks Ganesan, that means the reverse will also work? Meaning my wife can also show full rent, provided the rent receipt should have her name.
Thanks Raja and Aman for ur reply..
