Error in HRA u/s 10(13A) while filling ITR2 with 2 form 16

I have 2 form 16 for FY 2021-22 and HRA is mentioned in only 1 form 16. But while filling ITR 2 when I enter the HRA amount calculated for entire FY, it gives error stating "Exemption of HRA shall not be more than HRA received or 50% of basic + da" unlike in ITR1 where only warning occurs. So how do I proceed further? Will it be fine if I show HRA amount in  Any Other section of allowances exepmt u/s 10 continue further?

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses a common error when filing ITR2 with multiple Form 16s, specifically concerning HRA exemption under Section 10(13A). Users are encountering an error that prevents them from entering the full HRA amount, unlike in ITR1. The solution involves providing a salary bifurcation, entering basic salary and HRA as separate components within the salary section of ITR2, and ensuring the total HRA for the financial year is correctly calculated and entered.

Sec 10(13A) RULE 2A.

Hi how did u solve this? Even I am getting this error while adding Hra in ITR3 Filing . As my form 16 has hra exemption but it doesn't populate in itr 3 but it's coming in ITR1.

Do we have any solution for this issue ?

Yes bro. You need to add HRA separately just like basic salary in salary component.. Just calculate your total hra for the year and minus it from total salary. It worked for me. Just do the right calculation. 

Yes tried with Basic and HRA seperately, issue has been solved 

Hi could you please explain this a bit more, what do you mean by "tried with Basic and HRA separately" 

I am getting the same error, my form 16 has the HRA amount but I am not able to enter it under section 10(13A) in ITR2. How did you solve the issue?

 

Where did you enter the basis salary and HRA amount separately?

Hi, just find out where basic salary is showing. In same component section you need to add HRA also. After adding your whole year HRA from employer that error from 10-13A will be resolved.

You need to provide salary breakup (Basic + HRA), this worked for me and the tab "Total Allowances to the extent exempt u/s 10" allows to save. 

To solve this Error in HRA u/s 10(13A) while filling ITR2 with 2 form 16

Give bifurcation of the value.

Then the issue will be solved.
