My family has been living on a piece of land with own constructed house made up of bamboo and tin since 1905. The place lies within a govt premise. My father is working at same school under whose jurisdiction this plot of land comes.There has never been HRA deduction from my fathers salary recently from month of Aug 2014 without any written my fathers HRA is being deducted. My father is in service from last 38 years and there had been no HRA deduction upto July 2014 but from Aug 2014 the deduction is going on. Officially my father had never ever applied for a govt accomodation niether any is allotted on his name. When we asked the reason of the deduction from the headmaster of school through a lettter he replied that since we are living within the premise the HRA will be deducted as premise rent allowance . He also ordered that the HRA amount drawn for the last 38 years will be deducted from the retirement benefits,
So my question is that whether whatever he is saying through letters is legal or illegal. Kindly reply as soon as possible
