Husband is working in a PSU and sharing accommodation with his wife, who has taken a shop-cum-flat on a lease basis in the township of the company. Please guide if the husband, an employee, is eligible for HRA.
I suppose your query is on HRA exemption under the IT Act and not on HRA itself. If a husband is receiving HRA and the wife pays rent, the husband can claim HRA exemption provided the wife is not claiming the exemption, to my knowledge. However, experts, please comment on this.
