About HRA Exemption

Who can claim HRA exemption?

Salaried employees who receive HRA as part of their salary and actually pay rent for their accommodation can claim HRA exemption. You cannot claim it if you live in your own house or if your employer does not provide HRA.

Do I need rent receipts?

If your annual rent exceeds ₹1 lakh, you must provide your landlord's PAN to your employer. For rent above ₹1 lakh/year, rent receipts are required. Always keep receipts as proof.
