Not true, the private company you work for, is making an excuse for not paying you the housing allowance. Govt sector has nothing to do with both Husband and wife working and earning 2 housing allowance.

Only 1 of you will receive the housing allowance.Your wife company will ask her to provide a copy of your detailed salary certificate so that they will know if you (husband) is receiving a housing allowance or not. maybe now they have not request yet but in the long run, they will.just like what happen to me and my wife in which my company requested for a salary certificate of my wife to check if she is receiving a housing allowance or not. we are working in different company.

It's not.

As long as both of you working different company both are eligible to receive housing allowance.

It's a part of benefits which inclusive of your total package.

No one can raise question until both you work different companies.
