Understanding House Rent Allowance (HRA)
HRA is House Rent Allowance. If yours is a progressive organization, then HRA is given to both spouses, as notionally both incur some expenses. A declaration can be taken from both employees stating that each one is incurring expenses not less than the HRA amount, for record purposes. If not, there is no need to pay both.
In the early '80s, if one was staying in a government accommodation allotted to a relative, then the employee was not entitled to HRA. Progressively, this rule changed.
This is not a legal riddle, as there is no binding legal provision in any statute applicable in the matter. Nevertheless, it is a riddle.
