Sec 10(13A) Exemption is it applicable to HRA Received from DUBAI Company

Dear sir/mam,

My brother had worked in  INDIAN Company from APRIL 2019 TO NOV 2019 and  joined in DUBAI Company  from DEC 2019 TO MAR 2020 received salary (BASIC + House Support Allowance).

While filing ITR since he is coming under Indian Resident Category for FY 19-20,such income earned in DUBAI also taxable in INDIA .

My doubt is whether the Rent paid in DUBAI can be claimed as Exemption u/s 10(13A)

Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether an individual working for a Dubai company can claim an exemption for House Rent Allowance (HRA) under Section 10(13A) of Indian tax law. The individual received salary, including house support allowance, while working in Dubai and is considered an Indian resident for the relevant financial year. The core question is whether rent paid in Dubai is eligible for the HRA exemption, even though the income was earned abroad.

Section 10(13A) does not make difference between rent paid in India or abroad.

Dear sir,

Thanks a lot for your valuable reply.

 

with regards
