All You Need to Know for your Salary Investment Proof Submission


Time to submit investment proof – Remember these deductions for salaries


You are at the part of the year when your HR department is asking you for Investment proofs. You started to assess your investments, and what, you have not done your investment fully. I am explaining you below what all types of investment you can do to save tax on salaries.
Please note that all deduction are available on paid basis.

House Rent Allowance:

HRA is allowed to employees who are leaving in the rented accommodation as they are away from their home or could not live in their owned house due to some unavoidable reasons:

HRA limits varies with city you live in:

The least of the following will be exempt:

Mumbai/Kolkata/Delhi/Chennai
Other Cities (Gurgaon, Noida etc.)
Allowance actually received
Allowance actually received
Rent paid less 10% of basic salary
Rent paid less 10% of basic salary
50 per cent of basic salary
40 per cent of basic salary

PAN Card number along with name and address of the landlord is mandatory and needs to be
declared if the rent paid is more than ₹ 1 lakh annually.

Can I claim HRA and home Loan together?

There are no restriction
as per Income Tax Act and hence,
Home Loan deduction and HRA can
be claimed together.
However, organizations have differing views on the subject of an individual having an owned
property in the same city as that in which he is staying in a rented accommodation. Some
organizations feel, this combination can be claimed only if the individual has a sufficient reason
for having a property in the same city but is staying in a rented accommodation.
There is no problem when both the owned property and rental accommodation is in different
cities.

House property:

If you have purchased a property on loan, then principal, interest and loss on house property is available for deductions, given you have received the possession of the house property.
