Hello,
Can I legally pay house rent to my father, who is a retired govt. servant, and claim tax exemption? The house is in my father's name and I plan to pay rent by online account transfer as a proof of payment.
Yes, you can legally pay house rent to your father, provided the property is in his name. This payment can also be used to claim a tax exemption or rebate. It's advisable to make these payments via online account transfer to maintain a clear record of proof.
