Claim House Rent Allowance
People often move to new cities for work, which naturally increases their living expenses — one of the biggest being house rent. To help with these costs, employers include House Rent Allowance (HRA) as part of your salary. While the HRA received is taxable, the old tax regime offers an exemption, reducing your overall tax burden.
Use this tool to calculate the exempt HRA amount. 
Common questions about claiming HRA:
- Can I claim HRA if I didn’t provide rent proof to my employer?
Yes, while it's advisable to provide all expense proofs to your employer for accurate tax deductions, you can still claim the HRA exemption while filing your ITR. - Do I need to submit any proof to claim HRA while filing the ITR?
No, but you must maintain rent payment proofs in case the department requests them in the future.
Steps to claim HRA exemption on Quicko
1. Navigate to File > Incomes > Salary
2. Enter the salary breakdown as per your payslips
3. Input the exempt HRA amount calculated as per the tool
Note: HRA exemption is not available under the New tax regime.
