Taxation query (notional rent & hra)

Thank you sir.

I had thought tax authorities assume if both (2) houses are being shown are self-occupied (ie. Notional rent = 0 for both houses) then  owner dwells in one of them and hence cannot avail HRA. This helped.

As you stay in city X where you work, and where you have SOP, you cannot claim HRA. (unless for any specific satisfactory reason/s)

Well, I am not aware of the change in any such condition.

As you are working in the department itself, you would be aware of any such notification or circular.

It would be helpful to all the readers, if you can provide the details of any such notification/circular.

Thank you for the declaration in advance,........... From all the members of CCI.
