Dear Mr Ajay
I am salaried person employed with a software company in Bangalore. I stay with my parents and the house is owned by my father.
My father is also earning decent income.
Can I Pay rent to my father and claim House Rent Allowance ( HRA) in my tax compuation. My office has previously asked for proof of rent . It HRA receipt is sufficient or something more is required.
Anu
REPLY
House Rent Allowance paid by the company is subject to provision of Sec 10 (13 A) and you can get exemption from under it , if you stay in rented house . It is immaterial that who is the owner of the house . It may be a stranger or your father.
You have to provide Rent Receipt signed by landlord ( Father ) as an evidence to your office along with his PAN number. A better way is to enter into a simple Rent Agreement with him to evidence the renting and provide a copy to your office.
The Rent Receipts by your father shall be taxed in his hands under the Head Income from House Property.
Thanks
Ajay Gulati
