The Supreme Court recently said that a government employee staying in a rent-free accommodation allotted to his father, a retired government servant, was not entitled to claim any House Rent Allowance (HRA). The Supreme Court bench of Justices BR Gavai and Sandeep Mehta observed while upholding an HRA recovery notice against the appellant.
