No , for HRA purpose only four cities are considered i.e.,delhi, Mumbai, kolkata, Chennai (madras) .

Vahi - for Bengaluru, you need to still account it as a non-metro.

No. Bangalore does not come under Metro Cities specified under Rule 2A prescribing quantum of exemption for the purpose of HRA under Income Tax Act. Only four cities viz. Bombay/Calcutta/Delhi/Madras are considered as Metro Cities.
