08 July 2013 Hi!!!

I draw salary on lump-sum basis from a government organisation being a contractual employee. Please let me know can I get the benefit u/s 10 (13A) - House rent allowance and Medical expense - 1st proviso u/s 17(2)- Rs. 15000/- annually.
If yes would be better if the relevant section / rules is provided.
Looking forward to hear from you in an affirmative note.

With kind regards

S. Chowdhury

08 July 2013 No, for claiming HRA. there should be HRA component in your Salary.otherwise while calculating HRA received Rs.Nil. then exemption also will be Nil

How ever, salaried case those are not received HRA, they are eligible to claim Sec.80GG for rent expenses
