Hi, last year (2012-2013) I submitted the rental receipt for income tax exemption. This year, my management is asking for the rental agreement and the PAN Number of the landlord. I am paying the rent with mutual understanding and can provide the rental receipt, but I do not have the rental agreement for this year (2013-2014).
My salary is 19k per month, and the rent I have paid is 5k per month. Could you please suggest which documents are mandatory? Please help.

Prabhakarn Ji,
The procedure for HRA exception remains the same but is now restricted. Those who are paying rent above ₹8333/- per month (₹1 lakh per annum) are mandatory to submit the PAN of the landlord. A rent agreement is absolutely not required. Please find the attachment for more details.

Hi,
What needs to be done if HRA becomes taxable? During investment proof form submission, a declaration form from the landlord (as he doesn't have a PAN number) has been missed. So, all the HRA amount, approximately 1,10,000 rupees, becomes taxable. Tax has been deducted from my salary, around 10,000 Rs.
How can I recover this amount? Is it possible through IT returns? Can anyone suggest a solution?
Thanks, Vellanki

Please request your landlord to provide a duplicate form and submit it. Since you are paying HRA of 1.10 lakh, it is necessary to furnish the landlord's PAN number; otherwise, it may not be accepted. For recovery, you need to file your ITR before the stipulated deadline (July 31*) and you may receive a return after assessment by the IT department. Check with your HR and Finance departments for more information.

Dear Prabhakaran P, You have not mentioned how much HRA you get. If you are getting HRA up to Rs. 3000/- per month, you are exempted from the production of rent receipt to your employer. However, the assessment officer can ask for the rent receipt from you. If you are getting HRA more than Rs. 3000/- per month, you need to submit the rent receipt to avail HRA exemption. As mentioned by Hegde ji, since you are paying rent less than Rs. 1 lakh per annum, you do not need to produce the PAN of the landlord. This is as per the Income Tax Law. However, under the Stamp Duty and Registration Act, when you are paying rent, it is mandatory to have a registered and stamp duty paid agreement.

Hi Manjunath,
Do I need to submit the rent receipt forms again? Only the declaration form from the landlord (as he doesn't have a PAN number) is fine to submit in ITR. If I submit below 1 Lakh as HRA at the time of IT returns form submission in July 2014, will the IT department accept it and provide me with returns of around ~10K, which is taxable now? Please clarify.
Thank you,
Vellanki

Dear Vellanki,
Yes, submit rent receipt with Landlord PAN. In case you are paying less than 1 Lac/Annum, there is no need to furnish the PAN of the landlord, and the same will be considered.
Submit investment proofs before March with the rent receipt.
Get Form - 16.
Assess IT and file ITR (Jul-14).
Hope you are clear.

Hi Manjunath,
Thank you very much for your answers. Regarding your comment "Submit Investment proofs before March with rent receipt," a bit confusing to me. I've already submitted the rent receipts in my company. The date of submission has already passed, and they didn't consider it now. Is there any chance to submit the rent receipt forms again from a source other than our company? Could you please let me know the best way to determine the taxable amount (HRA) when I file ITR (Jul-14).
Thanks,

It's left to company internal guidelines. Most of the companies don't accept requests after February (since employers have to file before March 31). However, try to make a request stating an explanation for the above. If there is no alternative, contact any Chartered Accountants.
Hope for the best.

Hi Manjunath,
I filed my IT returns in the month of July through an agent who came to our firm. He submitted my IT filing offline, not e-filing. The guy told me that I would receive an amount of Rs. 7K as my HRA became taxable because I submitted all the rent receipt forms for the year 2013-14. He gave me an acknowledgment form when I submitted. Do I need to send it to Bangalore's address? Or is it fine if I don't need to send it to get that amount?
Kindly advise.
Thanks,
