Dear Sarika,
Info-type 0581 works as the start date as the hiring date or the date your are opting for HRA exception with the end date as 31.12.9999. When you create another record from a particular date it will delimit the old record and create a new record from that date to end date 31.12.9999.
It is not different for different PSA, might be there is another record which will be valid after the end date you are trying to give. But the end date will always  be 31.12.9999 till the record is delimited or the person is terminated.
