Just a question related to claiming HRA,What is the best practice of claiming maximum HRA,for example if basic salary is 100000,then company pay HRA as 50k,which is almost very difficult to claim. How are people.claiming that legally.Thanks

My total hra is 10L but CA told me to claim max 5L because I am from non metropolitan. Is he right? he told me govt can send a notice if i claim this much.

Hi people, tax season is here, I need help with HRA rules. Hi , I need your help in understanding HRA for tax calculations. As per old regime, HRA is calculated as minimum of: a. Actual HRA received b. 50% or 40 % of basic C. Actual rent paid -10% of basic My question is why isn't complete rent paid annually is not considered as tax exempted regardless of any clauses? The entire rent I pay is an outgo for me and income for the landlord. If I calculate using above 3 conditions , my exempted tax amount will always be lesser than the actual rent I paid in a year. So why total annual rent paid is not considered exempted? It's like I am paying 100rs for something but getting tax benefit only on 70rs. Is there something that I can do about it?

I just started my first full time job and will be filing ITR for 1st time next year, no one in my family has been in high tax slab previously so not much experience from there :D Some questions: - Almost 50% of my base pay is getting used in paying EMIs (Mostly mortgage) of my family, nothing is on my name, all on father's name, is there a way to claim this in deduction ? - We have our own house in a tier 3 city and I'm getting 30k/month as HRA, what will be safe HRA amount to claim ? - Can we claim any other expenses in deduction ? Leave travel allowance seems useless to me as I'm working remotely. - Which tax regime do you prefer ? New or old ? I could have done investments to save taxes but nothing is left after all the expenses and nothing on my name 😛

Asking for a friend who is not on GV: Hi, while submitting HRA proofs, I forgot to attach the previous rent agreement which covered the first 5 months of the year. As a result, the team has come back and only approved hra claim for the period covered in the current agreement. They are saying there is no way for us to reupload additional proofs (previous agreement) for company-level hra processing, and that we should claim these remaining hra savings while filing taxes. Has anyone done so before? What is the process? Please advise, thank you.

My PG rent is 11x the amount, but the HRA allotted to me from the company side is 17x, if I show 17x in papers, would it cause any trouble to the PG owner, I heard they would get notice. Is it okay to do so, please help here.

Has anyone ever received a notice from the Income Tax department for declaring an HRA component without giving the relevant proofs to their employer? Guys working from home, how do you claim HRA?
