My employer did not let me claim my HRA component. Can I claim it while filing taxes?

So let’s say you have your HRA component clearly mentioned in your salary breakup, but your employer did not let you claim it because you did not submit your investment declaration on time. Then in that case, you can definitely calculate your HRA using the HRA calculator and then enter this component while filing your taxes. Make sure to have your rental receipts and rent agreement safely with you. You don’t have to upload this while filing your ITR however if the assessing officer asks then it will be handy.
