Each of them would get exemption for lower of below three conditions.

1)Actual Rent paid minus 10% of basic salary.

2)50% of basic if staying in Metro cities otherwise 40% of basic

3)Actual HRA received from employer


Please calculate exemption for each of them separately.

2. Rent is paid by Husband (Licensee).

3. As per you
a) Husband is illigible for Dud of Rs.
1,10,000

80,000.

CONCLUSSION :

Can they both claim the deduction of Rs. 110000 & 80000 resp.

or any one is illigible for duduction ?

06 March 2013 No. I cleared this my previous reply itself. They both should be paying some rent to claim exemption.

In this case rent is paid by husband only so he only can avail the exemption.
