Proof of HRA claims of previous years; can you really take it easy after CBDT's assurance of no review of old HRA cases
If you have made certain claims to get an income tax deduction or exemption while filing your income tax return, then you need to keep documentary evidence of it as the income tax department may ask for it. There were media reports which indicated that the income tax department was running a special drive to identify fake HRA claims from previous years. However, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) recently clarified that there was no special drive to re-open cases concerning mismatch of data relating to House Rent Allowance (HRA).
