Is it possible to send money to parents and stating it as the rent?Using a loophole is not fraud. For example, paying rent to one's spouse is not allowed. If the house were owned by my father, and had paying rent to my mother, that would be a fraud. Over invoicing and under invoicing is fraud.In this case, even if the IT department scrutinizes, I expect to prevail.
And not sure where I "hid my trail" - mom's pan number is clearly mentioned. Even TDS is done, and taxes are paid.
By this logic, those who use HUF provisions would be fraudsters as well.
But thanks for derailing the thread.
Even if I don't stay with them?
Possible to save some tax there?
