Rental agreement with Parents for HRA

221 views 4 replies
Hii guys

My Friend is a salaried employee. Total salary is 9 lacs. His basic salary is 3,20,000. No DA. HRA portion is 1,60,000. Now he is staying with his parents. And he has a brother. All of them stay in same house. His parents own the house.

Now my doubt is can I make a rental agreement between my friend and his parents for the full house for a rent of 15,000 (Standard rent in that area) and claim HRA exemption of apprx 1,20,000. It's like their parents gave the entire house for rent. But his parents will live in that house only. This arrangement is only for tax planning purpose.


Plse suggest me if it is legal or allowed as per income tax..?

Home is owned by parents. So rent payment for full house is not genuine and acceptable. your friend may pay lumpsum for house rent.
Thank u sir. Now Market rate is Rs.7,500 per month for one floor. Can I take rent of only one floor and make agreement for 15,000 for one floor. Will that be ok...?

You have to decide what you want to do, how you want to consider !! Here, No such questions for academic purpose. 

Thank u sir
