23 July 2009 My previous employer did not include HRA details in my Form-16 by mistake and they say it can't be corrected now. I wish to claim HRA while filing the returns. Does it need any complex calculations? I was told by my employer of the amount that is considered as HRA. I am planning to use the same amount in filing the returns. Is that fine? And by the way where should this HRA information be filled in the ITR? Is it under "Allowances exempt under section 10:"?

Thanks in Advance

24 July 2009 yes, can claim the HRA in your income tax return. The same should be mention as allowances exempt as you said.

There is no other way to claim that.
