as per section 10(13A) read with rule 2A ,least of following three will be exempted


House Rent allowance (HRA) received.
50% of salary in case of residential accommodation taken on rent is situated in Bombay ,Calcutta ,Delhi, or Madras (Chennai) and 40 % of salary in in any other case.
Rent paid in excess of 10 % of salary.

HENCE ACTUAL HRA RECEIVED= 2500*12= 30000

40% OF SALARY=  480000*40%= 196000

RENT PAID- 10% OF SALARY= 30000- 480000*10%=O (CAN NOT BE NEGATIVE)

HENCE NO EXEMPTION IN THIS CASE 

agree with future CA...no exemption ...

Rent Received = 2500*12 = 30000

40%  of salary =  480000*40% = 196000

Excess of Rent paid over 10% of salary =  0

Considering the least of above

No exemption :)
