I Have been given HRA of Rs 2333.But I have made Investment close to 1 Lack. I am staying in my own House.Is it compulsory to show rent receipt for tax exemption.
yes , you have to give rent receipt ,further if you are staying in your own house then hra exemption can not be claimed
Great overview, this really is valuable for house owners!@boseHouse Rent Receipt Template
I Pay a rent of 29500/- (which is more than the 15000/- cap limit) and my Landlord does not have a PAN. He is not ready to give a declaration too for the same. How do i calculate my HRA exemption in this case.
As per circular 5/2011 pan of the landlord or declaration from landlord is required to be shown to employer (DDO) .The same is possible for you so you should claim HRA exemption while filing Income Tax Return
I Pay a rent of 29500/- (which is more than the 15000/- cap limit) and my Landlord does not have a PAN. He is not ready to give a declaration too for the same. How do i calculate my HRA exemption in this case. My employer has considered 15000/- as the Rent paid and Deducted and the rest he has moved to Taxable income. Please clarify.
Your employer has opted for best option available to him ,balance HRA you should claim Balance exemption while filing the Income Tax
