26 January 2022I am moving to Bangalore and planning to rent out an apartment, renting the apartment will cost 22-25K, while leasing would cost 10-12lakhs.
My father has suggested leasing and he will fund it. But this will make me ineligible to take an HRA deduction from my salary.
Can we have a rental agreement with my dad, and pay rent to him and take HRA deduction in my ITR.
If so, how should my dad show this income in his ITR under which source of income?
Thank you.
