House rent allowance

WHEN WE CALCULATED EXEMPT AMOUNT FROM HOUSE RENT ALLOWANCE ,

THE EXEMPT AMOUNT IS MINIMUM IN FLOWING

1 50 % OF SALARY IN METRO CITIES, AND IN OTHER 40 %

2  HRA RECIEVED BY EMPLOYEE IN RESPECT OF PERIOD FOR WHICH RENTAL ACCOMMODATION IS OCCUPIED.

Hi

Only basis salary is taken as salary for the purpose of computing HRA exemption. In your case salary is 240000.

In your case HRA exemption would be 72000 ( 96000 minus 24000, 10% of basic)
