Hra exeption limit ay 14-15


This query is : Resolved 

18 October 2013 Sir

Regarding HRA Exemption, suppose there is no HRA recd in Salary. It means lumpsum Monthly salary Recd Rs.24800=00 (After dedn of Prof.Tax Rs.200).

Further, if that person is paying Rent Rs.9000=00 p.m.

Can he get HRA exeption as follows or not?


2) Rent paid - 10% of Salary i.e 78000 (108000-30000)
3) 50% of Salary i.e. (150000)

Exemption Rs.78000=00 (Whichever is least)

therefore HRA exemption Rs.78000.

is this correct?

Please guide me.

18 October 2013 If you don’t get HRA but still pay rent? This could be the case with self-employed professionals, businessmen or even the salaried person whose emoluments do not include the HRA component.
The Income-Tax Act provides relief to this category of rent-payers, too.

Section 80GG covers the nuts and bolts of this tax deduction.
However,the conditions to fulfil are onerous and the deduction is rather small.
