Query on the matter of claiming HRA from employer
17-May-2023 (In Tax Law)
sir i want to know that me and my husband aregovernment employee working in different states, can we claim HRA separately????
If husband is working in State Government and wife works in Central Government, then a maximum of 6000 INR is allotted for both. Thus if the wife gets INR 6000 as HRA in her salary, then the husband will not be entitled to any HRA. If both the husband and wife are working with the Central Government and are not availing the government quarters for living, both would be eligible for HRA stipulated by the governing body and the finance department. Even if one decides to enjoy government quarter facility, HRA will not be granted to the couple.According to State Government, similar rules are followed. The Calcutta High Court recently announced that HRA for a government working couple will be granted if any one of them is stationed at a distance of 250 kms away from the spouse. In this case both husband and wife enjoys the benefits of HRA. Different states of India have a different set of HRA rules. So it is best advisable to check with the state legislations.
