H.R.A. Exempt u/s 10(13A) Calculation

This question is regarding H.R.A. Exempt u/s 10(13A). In order to calculate the HRA, the salary is defined as the sum of the basic salary, dearness allowances and any other commissions. Calculation of HRA is based on a number of factors, such as the entitlement to 50% of the basic salary, if the employee is residing in a metro city and 40% in case he/she stays in any of the other cities but what if the company is in non-metro city (Noida/greater Noida) and the employee is residing in a metro city (Delhi)? Please let me know.

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the calculation of House Rent Allowance (HRA) exemption under Section 10(13A). It explains that the exemption is determined by the employee's residential city (metro or non-metro) and not the location of their company. Therefore, if you live in a metro city like Delhi, you'll be entitled to 50% of your basic salary for HRA exemption, regardless of whether your company is in a non-metro area.

Location of the company doesn't matter.

We have to check the location of the residential accommodation occupied by the assessee.
