13 August 2013 My query is can a husband and wife claim HRA tax exemption as individuals.
e.g Husnand HRA component in salary: 10000
Wife's HRA component in salary: 10000

Total rent paid : 22000

13 August 2013 you have to prove that that both husband and wife contribute to the account

for better clarity, use separate bank account to pay the rent
