As per the Indian income tax law, the HRA exemption should be calculated as the least of the following.

1. Rent paid in excess of 10% of basic salary.

2. Actual HRA received by the employee.

3. Forty percent of basic salary, if the location of the residence is in a non-metro city/town or 50% of basic salary, if the location of the residence is in a metro city

since , rent will be paid by either wife /husband

so hra received will be fully taxable in one person and exempt upto above condition in another

as mention in 1 condition

Hope u wil understand
