HRA claims: Income Tax dept says no special drive to reopen mismatch cases

Any apprehensions about retrospective taxation on these matters and the re-opening of cases on issues of HRA claims are baseless. Data analysis was carried out in some high-value cases of mismatch between the rent paid by the employee and receipt of rent by the recipient for the FY 2020-21. The verification was done in a few cases as the Updated Return for FY 2020-21 could have been filed by the taxpayers concerned only till 31.03.2024.
