Can I claim the full amount as HRA tax exemption if none of other tenants are claiming anything?

No legal issues. If you pay the bank amount to landlord you can claim full. Settle your internal splits via other modes.

Hello,

Yes, you can consider the full rent paid by you for HRA.

I hope that this answer satisfies your requirements.

Hi,

You can claim HRA only for your portion of rent. If you are ultimately bearing 40%, you can claim 40%. In case query comes, you need to show the trail how you are bearing 40%.

You can easily show that if the money is going and coming through banking channel.

You must take the rent receipts in your name and then you can claim entire HRA.

Currently you must take 33.33% if no receipts available.

Hope you find the information helpful if you do please rate it 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement.

Thank you.

Hi,

You can claim entire HRA provided you have sufficient proofs for the same like bank statement & rent receipts .

It is advisable to take the rent receipts in your name.

Hello,

You can claim full amount of HRA tax exemption if you rent receipts for that amount and you have paid it from your Bank account.

Hope this serves the purpose. In case you any additional queries, feel free to contact.

Thanks
