I think you are asking about HRA Exemption.
Exemption of HRA will be available up to the the minimum of the following three options:
1)Actual house rent allowance received from your employer 2)Actual house rent paid by you minus 10% of your basic salary 3)50% of your basic salary if you live in a metro or 40% of your basic salary if you live in a non-metro
