Need some guidance on how claim HRA in ITR 2
In my Form 16: I have these 2 sections
Salary as per provisions contained in section 17(1): Rs X
House rent allowance under section 10(13A): Rs Y
Now in ITR 2 in section 10(13A) if I directly give Amount Y I am getting error:
"Error :Exemption of HRA u/s 10(13A) shall not be more than minimum of HRA received or 50% of (Basic + DA)."
So, should I make the salary break up in ITR 2 like:
b. HRA = Rs Y
Or the HRA here will be the HRA received as per payslip before doingthe exemption calculation. Which is more than Rs Y.
But in that case total salary will increase beyond what is there in Form 16
