HRA exemption, Income Tax

[RamKumar Lakkoju]

Dear All,

An employee who has been allotted accommodation but staying alone; is paying rent for a house which is located 100 kms from company accommodation for better education of his children. In that rented house his spouse and children are staying.

Can he claim HRA exemption for that rented house, Provided he is receiving HRA from company?
