Can HRA deduction can be claimed by both husband and wife if they are working if the Rent agreement is in the name of both the persons??In what proportion of rent they claim HRA??
25 July 2023
If the rent agreement substantiates the rent payable by both parties equally and if they both pay the said amount every month authenticated by rent receipts; both of them can claim the deduction in equal share.

Or it is necessary to pay individually the amount of Rent by both the persons??Shall they do so that one person pays the whole amount to landlord and another person transfers his part of share to another person???

As such only rent payment to landlord will be accepted by employer to adjust the HRA amount from salary for calculation of TDS. So, if both wish to get the deduction, the said rule is required to be followed by both of them.
