HRA Declaration
Let employees declare rent paid and claim HRA exemption — with landlord PAN capture, metro rules, and proof upload.
House Rent Allowance (HRA) Declaration enables employees to declare the rent paid for their accommodation in order to claim tax exemption under the Income Tax Act. Employees are required to provide details such as the landlord's name, address, PAN (if applicable), rental amount, and rental period. Proof of rent payment (like rent receipts or rental agreement) may be required as per organizational policy or statutory guidelines. The declared and verified amount will be considered during payroll processing for HRA exemption calculation.

A pop-up warning will appear if the employee has chosen the New Regime, stating that declarations will not be considered for tax exemptions.
Click the +Add button under Rental Details.
