If you stay in one house in a metro city for the whole year (April 2022 2023 to March 20232024) by paying Rs 10,000 per month as rent then there should be only one entry as follows.
From Date | To Date | Rent Paid (Rs) |

2024 | 1,20,000 |
Even if you stay in one house for the whole year and if there are rent revisions during the year, you will need to make different entries for each revision. For example, in the year 2009, if you stayed in only one house, but the rent was revised as follows,
House 1: From Apr 1, 2022 2023 to Sep 30, 2022 2023 – Rs 6000 per month is the rent. You paid Rs 36,000 since you stayed in the house for 6 months.
House 1: From Oct 01, 2022 2023 to March 31, 2023 2024 – Rs 10, 000 per month is the rent. You paid Rs 60,000 for 6 months.
Then please do not enter the information, by making just one entry, as follows:
From Date | To Date | Rent Paid (Rs) |
01-Apr- |
2023 | 31-Mar- |
2024 | 96,000 |
Instead, the correct entry is as follows.
From Date | To Date | Rent Paid (Rs) |
01-Apr- |
2023 | 30-Sep- |
2023 | 36,000 |
01-Oct- |
2023 | 31-Mar- |
