Quick qstn - I'm receiving HRA of 24075 from my employer but I would like dhow the rent paid as 96k p.a (while filing ITR). Even if I do so, I was only able to get exemption of 24075 from gross. Checking if we can speak to payroll department to increase Actual HRA since I'm actually paying more rent than compared. Will I be able to do so ?Deloitte Newco EY Accenture Genpact KPMG

One week. But you can be up front if you have other offers/a different timeline. Most places are flexible.
I had 3 days
That's standard in my experience. I recently had one offer come in and was expecting another offer the next day. I was able to push company 1 off for three days. Any longer than that and they would have gone to their next choice candidate. A recruiter helped me get my current job and he said that 3 days is standard, max one week if you're lucky.
One week seems pretty standard, maybe two
Conversation Starter
I got three offers during my search. One gave me 10 days, one didn't explicitly specify but the impression I got was they needed an answer in about 1 week. The third knew that I had competing offers and was aiming to be the cool, WLB option - they gave me a three week window.
Pro
Usually a week or little less. This isn’t like private practice at firms where they’ll give you up to two weeks when you were in law school.
