Draft Form 124 is a proposed statement designed to collect detailed particulars of employee claims for tax deductions, including HRA, leave travel concessions, and housing loan interest, to support tax calculations by employers.
Employees claiming HRA will need to disclose detailed landlord information, including their name, address, PAN, Aadhaar number, and their relationship to the landlord.
The draft form reiterates that a PAN must be provided if the annual rent paid exceeds £1 lakh.
Employees will be required to attach supporting documents, such as rent agreements, to substantiate their HRA claims.

The draft rules and forms are currently open for stakeholder feedback, and once implemented, the new framework is expected to apply from the tax year notified by the government.
