Hello, I am a salaried individual posted in Gurgaon hailing from Mumbai. Can I claim HRA for both Gurgaon and Mumbai, as my daughter aged 19 is staying in Mumbai and I am paying rent for both the locations. My annual Basic is 17.8 lacs and HRA is 10.65 lacs.

Ans: hi,
Yes Income Tax department has allowed deduction of HRA for 2 eligible houses provided you should have proper records for validation like rent receipts, actual payment details etc.
And eligible amount of HRA calculation is based on your Rent paid, Basic Salary, period of tenancy & Location of houses.

I didn't have down payment of 20Lacs so couldn't buy home in navi mumbai so what if I buy home at Karad will i be able to claim HRA and home loan.Also if I bought new house after 3-4 years in navi mumbai can i claim tax benefit for both loans

Ans: If you buy a home in Karad, you can claim tax benefits on a home loan, but you may not be eligible to claim House Rent Allowance (HRA). Here's an explanation:

Home Loan Benefits: If you purchase a house in Karad and take a home loan for that property, you can claim tax benefits on the loan under the following sections:

a. Deduction on Home Loan Interest (Section 24(b)): You can claim a deduction on the interest paid on the home loan up to Rs. 2 lakh per financial year, subject to certain conditions.

b. Deduction on Principal Repayment (Section 80C): You can claim a deduction on the principal repayment of the home loan under Section 80C, up to a maximum limit of Rs. 1.5 lakh per financial year, along with other eligible investments.

House Rent Allowance (HRA): HRA is a benefit provided to salaried individuals who live in a rented house. If you own a house in Karad and reside in it, you may not be eligible to claim HRA, as you are not paying rent.

Tax Benefits for a New House in Navi Mumbai: If you buy a new house in Navi Mumbai after 3-4 years, you can claim tax benefits on the home loan for that property as well. The tax benefits mentioned earlier (deduction on home loan interest and principal repayment) can be claimed for both properties separately, subject to the prescribed limits and conditions.

Ans: Hello Nagaraj
Yes. Maths is compulsory for engineering admission. It would be possible for him to take Mathematics as an Isolated subject and pass it with a score. But it is now too late. Yet you can try with NIOS board. Please visit the official website of NIOS board and its nearest center to your home town for more details or ask them on their helpline number available on the website or ask google. Thanks.

Career

Hi My daughter is studying in Cambridge syllabus and have chosen A levels in physics, chemistry, and biology along with economics. I would like to know the qualifying requirements for getting into Indian universities in core science and biosciences streams

Ans: Shalini Madam, Cambridge International A Levels are widely recognized by Indian universities for undergraduate admissions in core science and biosciences streams. The Association of Indian Universities (AIU) has granted equivalence to Cambridge International AS & A Levels, recognizing them as equivalent to Indian senior secondary qualifications. Eligibility criteria include subject requirements, number of A Levels, and additional considerations such as entrance exams, university-specific tests, and equivalency certificates.

Some Indian universities mandate entrance exams, such as CUET-UG for Central & State Universities, NEET for medical and related courses, and some institutions conduct their own entrance exams. Some universities may request an equivalency certificate from the AIU to validate the comparability of Cambridge qualifications to Indian standards.

To ensure eligibility, it is recommended to consult with admissions offices of targeted universities, prepare for entrance exams, and ensure all necessary documents are prepared and submitted according to university guidelines. By proactively engaging with the admissions processes and understanding specific requirements, your daughter can effectively navigate her path to securing admission in her chosen field of study in India. All the best for your Daughter's Bright Future!
