For the financial year 2021, the government of India has decided to extend the deadline for filing Income Tax Return. This gives us more time to understand the nitty gritties and familiarize ourselves with various components covered while filing ITR. One of the most commonly talked about components is HRA. A house rental allowance is a part of the salary received towards rent payment made by an employee for accommodation. The HRA is taxable and there are certain exemptions attached to it. But first the question arises: HRA comes under which section?
