House Owner — Not giving PAN card details.

Address:

Bangalore, Karnataka

Hi sir,

I stay in BTM layout in Bangalore and pay a rent of 10, 000 per month to my house owner.

He says, he accepts only cash.

He does not want to give bank account details so that I can transfer the rent to him directly to his bank account.

He doesn't even want to give PAN number details so that I can claim the HRA benefit from my employer.

He doesn't even want to give a rent receipt.

Please let me know what I can do about it.

Thanks,
Mallikarjun
