So I pay landlord from my own pocket and receive the rent receipt. Then I give this receipt in office and they reimburse the rent amount. My query is that how will it be treated when it comes to income tax. Whether rent amount will be added to my gross income and then accordingly I'll be taxed or some other method is there?

In my opinion reimbursement of rent is taxable because income tax law provides for exemption of house rent allowance only subject to certain conditions.
