As per FD Memo No. 10826 dated 18.11.2002, certain points regarding drawal of HRA clarified.
3. If husband and wife of an employee has been allotted accommodation at the same station or nearby by the State Govt., Central Govt., an Autonomous Public Undertakings or Semi Govt. Organisations such as Municipality, Corporation, Port Trust, etc. whether H.R.A. is admissible to him/her if he/she resides in that accommodation or resides separately in accommodation rented by him/her.
: No House Rent Allowance is admissible to the Govt. employee.

Dear Friend,
I Think ‘Both reside in a same place’ means not in their own house or any. H.R.A. will not applicable if they reside
together any Govt. allotted accommodation. If I wrong please forgive me. with best regards.
