He is eligible for HRA. He can pay rent to his wife but it has to be assessed by his wife in her IT return. HC judgement is there.

Dear Queriest,
I suppose, your query is on HRA exemption under IT Act and not on HRA.
If husband is getting HRA and wife pays rent, in this case husband can claim HRA exemption provided wife is not claiming the exemption, to my knowledge. However, experts, please make comment on it.
