31 December 2009 one woman is married & salaried employee and she is living with her husband. Her husband has taken loan for their house purchase.
Now she want to claim HRA as showing rent agreement with her father.

Is this legal and can she claim this hra for her salary income for the F.Y.2009-10?

31 December 2009 In my view it is not legal, because with out paying rent and the house she is not staying ,she cannot claim, it is one type of tax avoidance only
