I used to stay with my father last year and paid him 20K as rent every month.Also had rent agreement. I used to claim HRA earlier but this year I have not claim HRA deduction. Also I moved to USA in January 2024 but kept paying him some money for maintenance. I filed his ITR and showed the amount that I paid him when I was with him as rent and the rest 3 months I considered it as gift and didn't include it in his income. Is this correct or should I rectify his ITR and don't show this money as rent and consider all the money as gift? This ITR has been processed already.
