I actually pay rent for my self in bangalore and for my father in Indore(MP). I was going through some post on internet, where it says that if you pay rent for your father, then you can declare that also as part of HRA.

Suppose if i pay rent 15000 p.m. whre i stay in bangalore.
And i also pay rent 7000 p.m. to my father where he stay in Indore (MP).
Can my sum 15000+7000=22000  be declared as HRA in my TDS.?

Thanks,
Vinay

  Just need some help please. I had submitted the rent receipts to my company which got rejected since they were higher than 15k per month and I did not have my land lords PAN. Is there now a way to directly claim HRA benefit from the income tax. I think an additional amount of 20k got deducted from my salary. Please help!

Thanks,

1. Since Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula is considered a TriCity area – is mine the case valid for owning house in another city from the city where I am employed? That is can I claim tax exemption on principal repayment at the same time as I claim tax exemption on HRA?
2. My own flat is lying vacant for self occupation after 2-3 months and I do NOT own any other house/property. That is I own only one house property. So is my case considered as “deemed let out”?  I read that only if an individual owns more than 1 houses, then additional houses are considered deemed let out even if not actually rented.
So the question is what is my liability for income from house property – 0 or the notional rent value as in deemed let out case?

3. The interest paid for home loan in current financial year is 165000 and 20% of pre construction interest paid is 11000. Can I claim tax exemption on complete 176000 (with no upper cap of 150000) because it is not a self occupied property? and if the rental income = 0 (because the house is lying vacant) can I claim exception on the complete interest figure 176000 (-0 rented income)?

4. I had booked/purchased the flat in March 2009 but got in transferred in my name now in March 2012 (after possession was offered by the builder). Can I claim under section 80C for the stamp duty and registration fees paid for transfer of house in my name? Why I in doubt here is that the provision says that one can claim this exemption under 80C in the year of purchase of house. I purchased/booked the house in March 2009 but paid for stamp duty and registration fees in March 2012 after the possession was offered in Dec 2011. 

Verify.

I would like to know one thing after calculating the least amount of the above 3 rules which u had specified,how to decide the rent amount?

Thanks

In case a person occupied two rented house, one at where he is employed say as Mumbai and another at place where his/her family is residing say at Surat and where he/she visits at weekend, whether the entire rent paid by him/her is considered in calculating HRA exemption. Any Reference case law or circuler in this regards.

There is a requirement of disclosing PAN of the landlord if the rent paid is in excess of Rs 180000PA .[As per latest CIRCULAR NO. 05/2011, para no 5.2(9) issued by CBDT]
