What is HRA?

House Rent Allowance (HRA) is a part of the salary given by an employer to his employee for his
rented accommodation. HRA exemption can be claimed only if the employee is living in a rented
house.
What are the necessary documents required to claim HRA?
To claim HRA, you are asked to submit important documents like rent receipts, rent agreement to
your employer before the end of the financial year. If the amount of rent exceeds Rs 1 lakh/annum,
the PAN No of the landlord is also required. This will help you get exemption in your form-16 and you
can avoid further troubles during your Income-tax return filing.
