Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the rules for claiming House Rent Allowance (HRA) exemption for salaried employees. It explains the three conditions for calculating the exemption: actual HRA received, 40% of basic salary, and rent paid minus 10% of salary. The lowest of these three amounts is the eligible exemption. The thread also addresses a specific scenario where the rent paid might be less than the calculated minimum exemption, confirming that the exemption would still be calculated according to these rules.

Didn't get you in 2nd para
Person with one lakh per month salary staying in a rented house of Rs.7500/- pm in Mangalore
As per the 3 conditions laid idown n Rule 2 of the Act, the amount of rent per year is very less.
So, whether he can claim exemption u/s 10 (13A) of the Act.

If you get a hra from employer and have living in a rented house you can claim Deduction

1st -actual hra received

2nd- 40%of basic salary

3rd- excess of rent paid over 10% of salary

Which ever is least is your exemption

I don't know your hra or cannot calculate so you see what is the least amount among three and deduct
But my point is it is less than the least amount specified. In such a case is it allowabale exemption

Rent is less than the least amount you mean that

Rules are not changed it will be exempted the above way
