Method for calculating hra exemption

Tax queries 512 views 3 replies

An employed  person receives HRA along with medical allowences in addition to basic and DA components. He calculates HRA exemption according to the rule: amount of rent paid in excess of 10% of salary. Now here salary is sum of basic and DA and excluding HRA, medical allowences and arrears. Is this method  correct?

For HRA salary means Basic Salary+ DA+ Commission dts its..

and nothing will add other than this for  calculating HRA.

D.A. is to be considered to teh extent it forms part for calculating retirement benefits of the employee. Commission is considered only if it based upon a fixed percentage.

Else only Basic needs to be considered.

But you can consieder arrears of basic and DA if the same are related to currently F.Y
