Hi, Pls help me with the following queries:

1. Can we claim HRA exemption also if we get accommodation from employer ( not owned by employer but taken on lease from third party) which is valued under perquisites in sub-rule(1) but some part of rent is paid by employee to owner of accommodation?

Hi Ritika,

1) HRA exemption can be claimed as per Section 10(13A) if some part of rent is paid by employee and that part will be treated as rent paid by emloyee. As far as RFA is considered valuation will be as per rule 3(1).

2) It is exempt for all.

3) Perk value is determined as per Rule 3(2). Long provision so kindly check this rule.

4) Salary includes Basic, allowances, bonus, other monetary payments except perk, exempted allowances etc.

Hope this will help you

Regards
