DECLARATION OF RENT PAID BY A PERSON WITHOUT HOUSE RENT ALLOWANCE (KNOWN AS FORM 10BA)
I make this declaration to support a claim for a deduction for the rent I paid. It is my own declaration written in my own words and is not a copy of any prescribed form. The Income Tax Department's portal or the tax officer may require the prescribed form in its own layout, which I will then sign and give. The particulars above are true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief.
PERSONAL DATA NOTICE
This notice is given under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
Personal data in this document is collected only to support a claim for a deduction for rent paid, communicate about that purpose, verify the information expressly supplied, and retain an evidentiary record.
The record will be held by __________ and may be shown only to the declarant, the landlord named in it, the declarant's tax adviser or accountant, and a bank or verification agency where the declarant asks for it, and to a statutory or tax authority where disclosure is required for the matter recorded here.
If the matter does not go ahead, or this document is withdrawn before it is used, the personal data will be retained for 90 days from that decision and then erased. If it is used, the record will be retained for 12 months after the matter ends and then erased, except for a record that a statute requires to be kept for a longer named period.
Data minimisation: this document deliberately does not require a full Aadhaar number, Aadhaar-card copy, passwords or unrelated identity material. Detailed KYC should remain in the separate KYC workflow; tax or payment identifiers are collected here only where the whole purpose of this document requires them.
