18 April 2012 You can claim exemption(least of below 3) U/s 10(13A) of income tax act.

1.Amount of HRA received.

2. 50% of salary in case of residential accommodation taken on rent is situated in Bombay ,Calcutta ,Delhi, or Madras (Chennai) /40 % of salary in in any other case.

3.Rent paid in excess of 10 % of salary.

Salary here means basic salary which includes dearness allowance if the terms of employment provide for it, and commission based on a fixed percentage of turnover achieved by the employee.

with the above you can easily get it.
