Tax exmeption on hra

I know that if i am staying with my father and giving rent to my father and if property belongs to him, i can claim tax exemption on the rent paid to my father.

I have bought the flat 6 years back and have cleared loan on that. Now can i gift deed that property to my father and start paying him rent and claim tax exemption under HRA? I am salaried employee. My father will pay income tax on rent earned as per his tax bracket (10%). I am under 30% tax bracket.

You can do this but whenver the case comes under scrutiny in Income tax then genuiness of transaction will be questioned and penalty may be imposed for all previous year in which you would have paid Taxes but done the tax evasion by transferring of Property. It can be done but possible action from Income tax babus may put your tax planning in trouble.

Thank you for your advise.
