house rent allowance

Assessee is a salaried person.  In Form 16 an employer has not deducted the house rent allowance u/s 10(13A) due to the non production of rent receipt at the time of tax deduction. My question is whether an assessee can claim exemption u/s 10(13A) while filing the return of income? If so is it necessary to enclose the rent receipts to the return? kindly clarify.

Yes, he can claim the deduction.

He needs to give the rent receipts and the rent agreement alongwith Form 16.

If the Form gives the amount of HRA explicitily, then no other proof is required,

otherwise the salary slips are required
