Have you hired separate accommodation and have evidence to this effect?

You can claim.

Not at all agreed.

As long as you are posted in same station, you are not entitled to any HRA, lease etc.

Even if you have eivdence of hiring seperate accommodation, the same [AS PER GIVEN FACTS] is irrelevant.

In your deptt several brilliant brains will advise you so many things but fraud leads to devastation.
