10 August 2009 In 2008-09 , I worked in an orgainsation from April'08 to Aug.'08 thereafter joined another organisation wherein I worked for Sept.'08-March'09.
The form 16 recd. from my 1st employer does not account for HRA(living in a rented accomodation) .Now while I am filing my return want to include the rent benefit for April'08-Aug.'08 . What are the doc. I need to submit.

10 August 2009 The return you will be filling will be belated return.

And you can claim the rental benefit in case u lived in rented accommodation for that period even if the same is not mentioned in form 16 of employer.

You dont need to attach any document proof like rent receipt/ agreement with return but keep the same with you in case AO needs that later.

Even if your employer has not given HRA exemption benefit to you in form 16, you can claim the same while filing your IT Return.
