Hra benefit under section 10(13a) - paying rent to parents

I am working in a Private Company in Kharagpur, West Bengal near to my home town in Balasore, Orissa which is 120 Km away. So after office, I use to return back to home town.

Presently, I am staying with my parents & paying rent to my father with all legal formalities (Rent Agreement, Rent Receipt). Also, my father use to show this income, as income from house rent in his ITR return.

Based on above situations, I would like to know whether I can Claim HRA benefit under Section 10(13A) considering, I am working & staying in different states.

Dear Client,

You can claim HRA and save tax by occupying a paortion of your parents house on rental basis to your father. It is highly advantageous from tax saving point of view.t..Please show the rental DEED, rental receipts etc in proof o f your payment of rentr to your parents.
