New ITR Utility: Is landlord’s PAN card needed for claiming HRA while filing income tax return?

Every salaried employee who has an HRA component in salary and who wants to claim house rent allowance (HRA) income tax benefits need to submit the PAN number of the landlord if the annual rent is above Rs 1 lakh. Failing to submit the landlord’s PAN to your employer for claiming rent HRA tax exemption, will result in losing the tax exemption.
