18 February 2010 1) HRA exemption is available to Individual only. Here, you are staying in Thane only therefore exemption will be applicable only for Thane House(from the period where you have been shifted).

2) Here, % will be 40% of (Basic+DA(forming)+Commission)*, because Thane does not fall under Metro cities category given by Income Tax Department.

*Please note: if you are not getting DA & Commission then only 40% will be of Basic Salary.

18 February 2010 Dear Alok

You can claim the HRA exemption only for the house in which you are residing i.e. Thane.

For calculating HRA exemption there are three conditions minimum of which is exempt from tax.

1. HRA received
2. HRA paid less 10% salary
3. 50% or 40% of Salary

Salary means Basic+DA to the extent the terms of empoyment so provide+ Commission if fixed percentage of turnover.

Thane, Mumbai will come under 50%.
