1- Fake rent receipt
The Income Tax Department has caught many such ITRs in the last few years in which fake rent receipts were submitted. People submit fake rent receipts to avail the benefit of HRA. Sometimes some CAs themselves used to advise to do this, but now the Income Tax Department has become strict.
