HRA Claim Policy – Ghar Apna PG

At Ghar Apna PG, we understand that many working professionals and salaried tenants require rent receipts and documents for claiming House Rent Allowance (HRA) benefits under Income Tax regulations.

To maintain transparency and comply with applicable Income Tax Rules, we follow a structured HRA Claim Policy for all tenants.

Please read the following terms and conditions carefully before requesting any HRA-related documents.

📌 Understanding HRA Eligibility

As per applicable Income Tax provisions and Rule 26C of the Income Tax Rules, the property owner becomes liable to provide PAN card details only in cases where the annual rent paid by a tenant exceeds ₹1,00,000 in a financial year.

This means:

• If the total rent paid by a tenant during a financial year is more than ₹1,00,000, PAN details of the owner/management may be required for HRA purposes.

• If the annual rent paid is below ₹1,00,000, providing owner PAN details is not mandatory as per applicable rules.

✅ Eligibility Conditions for HRA Documents

Ghar Apna PG may provide HRA-related documents only if the tenant fulfills the following conditions:

1️⃣ Minimum Annual Rent Requirement

The tenant’s total rent contribution during the financial year should be approximately ₹1,00,000 or above.

OR

The tenant should have stayed for a sufficient duration where the total eligible rent amount crosses the prescribed threshold under Income Tax guidelines.

2️⃣ Minimum Monthly Rent Consideration

Generally, tenants paying around ₹8,500 or more as monthly rent are more likely to qualify for HRA documentation eligibility, subject to total annual rent criteria.

3️⃣ Duration of Stay Matters

Tenants staying only for short durations such as:

• 3 months

• 4 months

• 5 months

may not automatically qualify for HRA documentation unless their total paid rent crosses ₹1,00,000 during the financial year.

📌 Example Scenarios

Scenario A – Eligible for HRA Support

• Monthly Rent = ₹20,000

• Stay Duration = 5 Months

• Total Rent Paid = ₹1,00,000

✅ In this case, the tenant becomes eligible for HRA-related support/documents as the annual threshold is met.

Scenario B – Not Eligible

• Monthly Rent = ₹8,500

• Stay Duration = 5 Months

• Total Rent Paid ≈ ₹42,500

❌ In this case, owner PAN details or HRA claim support may not be provided, since the total annual rent paid does not meet the prescribed threshold under applicable Income Tax guidelines.

📌 Important Terms & Conditions

• HRA-related documents are issued only after verification of complete payment records.

• Any pending dues, electricity bills, or policy violations may delay or restrict document issuance.

• Submission of fake, altered, or misleading information for tax purposes is strictly prohibited.

• Ghar Apna reserves the right to deny HRA support in cases where eligibility conditions are not fulfilled.

📌 Important Clarification

Providing rent receipts alone does not guarantee HRA approval by the Income Tax Department.

Final approval, tax benefit eligibility, and assessment are completely subject to:

• Income Tax Department rules

• Employer policies

• Individual tax filings

• Applicable government regulations

✅ Conclusion

At Ghar Apna PG, we aim to maintain complete transparency while complying with government tax regulations and Income Tax Rules.

We request all tenants to understand and follow the above HRA policy before requesting HRA-related documentation.
