Need help with HRA Submission

to IT,  it should be meaningful... you work at patna, rent at mysuru, pure shit...

yes you can definitely, i do it for mumbai and pune

you could be renting a place where your parents live and you paying the rent

or you working from home in another city, only all docs have to be valid, like rent agreement, transfer receipts  

HRA is employer prerogative.

- Some employers demand rent agreement, some don't.
- Some employers require all 12 month rent receipts, some need only one (or more if there is rent amount or rental property change within the year)

So ask your HR for the policies they follow, and you need to follow them.

------

Technically, whether you're living in same city as your work location or a different city, is immaterial for HRA exemption. You can legally give rent to your parents too and claim that rent exemption, but your parents will then have to show that rental income in their ITR.

Usually tax proof submission happens in December January, what if someone leaves the old company and is unemployed in December to March time

How will he be able to submit tax proof?

Can you even claim this much as hra?

You can only claim the lowest of the below three.

1. Actual HRA received.

2. 40% of salary for a non-metro city or 50% of salary if the rented property is in metro.

3. Actual rent paid should be less than 10% of salary.


Your salary for consideration is just Basic + DA. You can't consider 50% of the whole salary.
