06 March 2010 calculation of HRA exemption:
least of following is exempt from tax
1 50% of salary if lived in Mumbai, Kolkatta, Delhi or Chennai or 40% of salary i.e.18000 in your case only basic.
2 HRA received i.e. 7200
3 excess of rent paid over 10% of salary i.e. 12500-10%of 18000= 10700

So full HRA will be exempt even if in first case you will get 40% i.e. 7200

06 March 2010 No.special allowance is not inclued for HRA exemption calculation. Commission & incentive based on fixed percentage on turnover it is included but special allowance is normal allowance not based on turnover
