If you are a salaried employee and staying in a rented accommodation, you can claim the house rent allowance (HRA) exemption under Section 10(13A) of the Income Tax Act, 1961. 

The HRA exemption is available for least of the following amounts: a) Actual HRA amount received from the employer; b) the amount of rent you pay for your house in excess of 10% of your basic pay; c) fifty per cent of the basic salary, if you reside in a metro city, and 40% of the basic pay for non-metro cities.

Download the Automatic House Rent Exemption Calculator U/s 10(13A)

 


For claiming the exemption, the employee must stay in a rented house during the period for which the exemption is being claimed and must have actually incurred the expenditure on payment of rent. For computing the HRA exemption, salary means ‘basic salary’, dearness allowance, if the terms of employment so provide, and commission based on a fixed percentage of turnover achieved by the employee. While one can pay rent to parents to claim the HRA exemption, they need to pay tax on the rent received.

The employee will have to submit rent receipt/rent agreement to the employer for availing the HRA exemption. The employer needs to only obtain a rent receipt/rent agreement from the employee; however, the employer is not required to verify the receipt for granting the exemption to the employees. 

If the amount of rent claimed is more than Rs. 1,00,000 per year, the Permanent Account Number (PAN) of landlord has to disclosed. If the landlord does not have a PAN, the employee is required to submit a declaration to this effect from the landlord along with the name and address of the landlord.

Moreover, under the Income Tax Act, an employee can claim the HRA exemption even if he owns a house but stays in a rented accommodation. This will be possible in cases where the employee owns a house in some other city and cannot stay in the house because of job location. Also, if an employee has taken a loan from a bank or a housing finance company to buy the house, he can avail the deduction of interest under Section 24 of the Income Tax Act as well as repayment of principal towards loan under Section 80C of the Act, even if one is claiming the HRA exemption while staying in a rented accommodation in another city.
The rent receipt should have a one rupee revenue stamp with the signature of the person who has received the rent and other details such as the rented residence address, rent paid, name of the person who has paid the rent. While HRA is a major tool to save tax, it is equally important to keep every documentation properly, in case demanded by the tax authority.
Earning Curve:
* Self-employed professionals cannot claim the HRA exemption under Section 10(13A) of the I-T Act, 1961, as they do not earn a salary
* For claiming the HRA exemption, the employee must stay in a rented house during the period for which the exemption is being claimed
* While one can pay rent to parents to claim the HRA exemption, they need to pay tax on the rent received
* The employee will have to submit the rent receipt/rent agreement to the employer for availing the HRA exemption

Download All in One Income Tax Preparation Excel Based Software for All STATE GOVT employees for the Financial Year 2015-16 and Assessment Year 2016-17. [ This Excel Based Software can prepare at a time Income Tax + Automatic House Rent Exemption Calculation + Automated Form 16 Part A&B and Form 16 Part B for F.Y.2015-16]

Few might have already started their tax planning from the beginning of a year, i.e. from the April month itself. However, the majority of people will start to think only at the year-end. So let us discuss what are the tax saving options, one can utilize

1) Life Insurance-
  1. a) Endowment or Money Back Plans-These are the one of the oldest ways of investments used by all Indians. But do remember that these products will neither give you full life risk coverage of actually in need nor they give a better return. But at the same time if you are very much happy with the kind of coverage like Sum Assured or Rs.1, 00,000 to Rs.10, 00,000 or returns of around 6% then definitely consider this.
  2. b) ULIP Plans-These are again a combination of INSURANCE+INVESTMENT product. Currently insurance companies are offering these products at cheaper than what they used to be earlier. But still the drawback of such plans are-they will not fulfil your life insurance needful, tracking of fund performance is very inconvenient and if the fund is not performing then hard to come out of such plans.
  3. c) Term Plans-These are the pure life insurance products. You can buy the actual need of insurance very cheaply. Therefore, instead of going for above two products this is necessary for all.
2) Public Provident Fund (PPF)
This is one of the tax saving heaven for the few who want to get the tax deduction under Sec.80C while investing and after that exemption on interest earned as well as the maturity amount. From this financial year limit of yearly investment raised to Rs.1, 50,000. However, do remember that period of PPF is 15 years and liquidity is not so easy. Other than that if, your financial goal matches in this period, then it is best to consider the debt portion of your portfolio towards this investment.
3) ELSS Funds
These are mutual funds specifically meant for tax saving purpose. Do remember that there is a lock-in period of 3 years attached with such funds. Also, never be in a wrong belief that if you invest in monthly SIP then you can exit after 3 years. However, each monthly SIP is considered as new investment. Therefore, each monthly SIP needs to be complete 3 years. You can avail tax benefit under Sec.80 C of Income Tax.
Considering the equity nature of this type of investment, it is wrong to think that after 3 years you can come out easily with positive returns. Consider your time horizon of staying with these funds as more than 7+ years and invest. Otherwise, you may end up in negative earnings.
4) Rajiv Gandhi Equity Saving Scheme (RGESS)
This is one more type of equity investment where the only new entrant into equity will be benefited and whose income is less than Rs.10 lakh a year. You can claim deduction under Sec.80 CCG. The maximum investable amount is Rs.50,000. You can claim 50% of the invested amount. This scheme allows you to invest in particular stocks, ETFs or Mutual Funds.
5) Employee Provident Fund (EPF)
This is one more type of indirect saving scheme. The employer usually deducts 12% of your salary towards this scheme. Your contribution is available for deduction under Sec.80 C. Max Rs.1.5 Lakh
Also, if you fail to contribute then you can contribute to this scheme more than 12%, which is called Voluntary Provident Fund (VPS), by doing so you can increase your tax deduction option also.
6)  Senior Citizen Savings Scheme (SCSS)
This scheme does not apply to all as it is meant for senior citizens only. One can invest up to Rs.15 Lakh only. Detailed features of this scheme are available with India Post.  You can avail tax benefit under Sec.80 C.  However, interest earned from, this is considered as taxable income. In addition, you can read further information from below link.
7) National saving Certificate (NSC) or Bank FDs
Again, these two forms of savings are very much popular in India. NSC is currently available with 5 years and 10-year tenure and Tax Saving FDs at a 5-year term. You can avail tax benefit under Sec.80 C. However, do remember that the returns on these two instruments are taxable. For further detailed information on the same, you can visit below links too.
8) Health Insurance
This one is for of safety major yourself by having health insurance and along with that, you can avail tax benefit under Sec.80 D. If you buy for yourself, spouse or children, then up to Rs.25, 000 can be claimed under this rule. Also, if you buy health insurance for your parents (whether dependent or not) then additional Rs.25, 000 deduction is available. However, parents are senior citizens, and then the limit is up to Rs.30, 000. So overall, one can save a maximum of Rs.55, 000 under Sec.80 D. You can choose plans by reading a few of my earlier posts.
9) Home Loan
Home loan is one more option for those who want to save tax. But what if your interest payout is more harming you than the available tax benefit? Hence, do take care of entering into this option. As this is a loan, but not an investment. There are two types of tax benefits if you opted for home loan and it is self-occupied.

  • Under Sec. 80C whatever principal you pay towards loan is eligible for deduction.  (Do remember that this exemption is only for residential property, only for the purchase and construction of the house, but not for renovation or repair, also if you sell the property within 5 years of availing tax benefits then the benefits availed is reversed).
  • Under Sec. 24 you can avail the interest amount whatever you pay towards this loan. The limit is Rs.2 lakh for one self-occupied property.  However, if it is not self-occupied property, then there is no such limit.
