How much HRA can i claim?

Hi,

Below is my monthly salary structure. Can anyone help me how much HRA can I claim for tax exemption.

 

I get salary after deducting Rs. 1032 as PF, Rs. 200 as professional tax and some amount as income tax which is close to 20k/month.

I have taken a flat with 3 of my friends at Rs. 18000/month i.e. 3600 per head.

 

Also please let me the documents that have to be submitted for it. My landlord don't provide rent slips.I just have rental agreement for flat.

 

Thanks & Regards,

Akash
