Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether Bangalore can be considered a metro city for House Rent Allowance (HRA) calculations. Currently, under Indian Income Tax provisions, only Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and Kolkata are officially recognised as metro cities for HRA purposes, allowing for 50% of basic salary. Therefore, Bangalore is not presently included in this category for HRA calculation.

Yes ,just like kolkata..
Currently, as per the Income Tax provisions, only four cities in India (Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata) are considered to be metro cities and are allowed to have 50% of the basic salary as the House Rent Allowance (HRA).

Therefore, Bangalore not considered as metro city for HRA calculation.
