To claim HRA Landlord PAN is required

Yes, that’s correct. To claim the House Rent Allowance (HRA) exemption, the employee is required to submit the PAN number of the landlord to the company. The company then uses this information to verify the claim and ensure that the correct amount of HRA exemption is granted. This is done to prevent fraud and misuse of HRA exemptions and to ensure that the employee is paying rent to a legitimate landlord. PAN number is a unique identifier for individuals and entities, and it helps the government track and verifies financial transactions.

Can I claim HRA without the landlord’s PAN?

Yes, you can claim HRA without landlord PAN when your annual rent payment exceeds Rs 1,00,000. However, it is mandatory to obtain your landlord’s PAN when your rent exceeds Rs 1,00,000
