If Landlord Not Giving PAN. How To Claim HRA Tax Benefits in India ( updated 2018)

If the annual rent paid by the employee exceeds Rs. 1 lakh per annum, it is mandatory for the employee to report PAN of the landlord to the employer. The tax law also says that in case the landlord does not have a PAN, a declaration to this effect from the landlord along with the name and address should be filed by the employee. Can you claim HRA (house rent allowance) if the landlord is not providing you his/her PAN?  

Tax experts say that an employee can still claim tax benefits under HRA in his or her tax return. 
Even if the employer does not allow HRA exemption to the employee - due to non-availability of PAN or declaration by the landlord for not having PAN, the employee still has the option to claim it at the time of filing the income tax return, says Sandeep Sehgal, director of tax and regulatory at Ashok Maheshwary & Associates LLP. "Once a person is to file his/her income tax return, there is no requirement to furnish the PAN of landlord," he adds.


My owner is not giving me his PAN number, can I file income taxes against him? If yes, then how?

1. If you are paying your rent by cheque or online transfer, when you are filing your taxes you can clain HRA with the help of a CA. I have done this for 2 successive years. Provide the CA with your bank statement having filtered monthly Rental transfer.

2. Here is ultimate solution for finding the PAN of your landlord. 
First of try to know the date of birth of him . ( Give him birthday gift, talk to his children/ mother wife ......use your IQ)
Try to know exact last name at least . Full name very good !
Go to tax department site to find PAN Know Your PAN
Try for yours, you will know how easy it is to know anywones PAN

Prohibition of Usury in Various Religions Hinduism The earliest such record derives from the   Vedic   texts of Ancient India (2,000-1,400 BC) in which the "usurer" ( kusidin ) is mentioned several times and interpreted as any lender at interest.  More frequent and detailed references to interest payment are to be found in the later   Sutra   texts (700-100 BC), as well as the Buddhist   Jatakas   (600-400 BC).  It is during this latter period that the first sentiments of contempt for usury are expressed.  For example, Vasishtha, a well known Hindu law-maker of that time, made a special law which forbade the higher castes of   Brahmanas   (priests) and   Kshatriyas   (warriors) from being usurers or lenders at interest.  Also, in the   J...
