Can someone please share information on this question asked already?
What about the maintenance charges which we are paying as society charges? Can we claim this in HRA?
It would be very helpful to know the answer to this question. This is a significant charge these days - in many societies, the monthly maintenance charge itself is several 1000s of Rupees.
If this is not included in the rent and I as a tenant pay it separately to the society, can I deduct this?
On the other hand, if I include it in the rent agreement (in the future), and pay it to my landlord, can he deduct this as expense from his rental income?
