The first circular in 2012 (attached in the above link) states that HRA must be paid.

Payment of HRA in the context as posted,, is governed by para 6(a) of OM No. 2(37)-EB/64 dated 27/11/1965 of the Ministry of Finance. Accordingly, the Government servant need to submit the prescribed certificate to be eligible for grant of HRA. The certificate could be furnished on the following lines:

"I have continued for the period for which HRA is claimed to retain the house at the same station fromwhere I had proceeded on leave"

The above certificate is required to be furnished every month after the initial period of 180 days.

This certificate doe snot appear to be the hurdle.

given facts indicate that the concerned accountant has got his own interpretation of rules that HRA is not at all admissible.
