15 July 2013 IF PERSON LIVES IN RENTED HOUSE CAN HE CLAIM HRA EXMPTION DURING FILING OF ITR IF SAME HAS NOT BEEN CONSIDER BY EMPLOYER AND DEDUCTED TDS ACCORDINGLY.
IS THERE ANY ISSUE IF SALARY INCOME DIFFER DUE TO HRA EXEMPTION AS PER TDS CERTIFICATE ISSUED BY EMPLOYER IN WHICH HRA HAS NOT BEEN CLAIMED AND ITR FILED BY EMPLOYEE WITH HRA EXEMPTION.
