Case 1 : If you want to get benefit of HRA, you need to submit Rent Receipts signed by your House Owner. Light Bill is not required.
Case 2 : If you are staying with your parents, you can pay Rent to your parents as well. If you pay rent to your father, he needs to show this rental income in his IT Return. If your parents are co-owners, and your mother has non-taxable income, then it is better to pay rent to your mother.
