Was looking at a last minute trip to Japan in Tokyo over NYE and thinking of taking the week after to ski. Any recommendations or tips on housing, ski resorts, restaurants and transport? I’ll be coming from the US & have an Ikon pass, so I was looking at Niseko and Lotte Arai primarily.

Hello everyone, need a help from you.

Previously my HRA amount was 96000 per annum so I was submitting a rental agreement of full hra without giving pan card details of myself and first party.

Now I have recently joined a new company and here hra is 2.7LPA.

How can I claim the full hra amount? I live in a rented house where agreement is between owner and my dad. Also owner will not accept for a fake agreement too.

Any other alternative do I have to claim HRA? Your inputs are welcome here

Partners, I imagine some of you are older. Do you remember a time of instability such as this in history? How has the media changed over the decades? How are you thinking about the times if at all?
