Quick Summary
This discussion focuses on calculating Mr. Sharma's gross salary, which includes his monthly earnings, the taxable value of his rent-free unfurnished accommodation in Ludhiana, and leave encashment. The calculation for the accommodation's value depends on whether the employer owns or rents the property, with specific rules based on the city's population and a percentage of salary.

Hii Aastha. It depends on whether that accomodation is owned by Employer or Hired by Employer. And try to give details like Basic Salary, Dearness Allowance, Bonus if any, Allowances etc..
If the accomodation is owned by employer then value of rent free accommodation will be

Rent paid
Less: 10% of salary (as population is 20 lakhs)

Or if accomodation is taken on lease by employer then value of rent free accommodation will be

Rent paid by employer
15% of salary
whichever is lower
