Please help me in the following scenario: I was employed from April 2011 till December 2011 with a company where in TAX was automatically deducted from my salary. Since I didn’t submitted rent receipt actuals, they have considered the entire HRA component as taxable and deducted IT accordingly. Also the 80C savings were not considered since the original receipts were not submitted.
Now i am filling the ITR-1 form for refunds. Please clarify me on following: 1. How should I claim HRA exemptions? I know the calculations for HRA, but not sure where to enter in ITR 1 as there’s no section specifying HRA exemption. 2. As I was reading some of the blogs, it was mentioned that I should deduct the HRA exempted amount from the total salary and then input this new amount as my taxable salary in ITR-1. Is this correct ? 3. If yes, then how IT department will assess my claims, as no documents are attached with ITR-1. I have the pdf softcopies of all the documents, but not sure when and where to produce it as evidence of my filling.
Your guidance in this respect is highly appreciated.
