u hv mentioned here that

the company gives him HRA of rs 3000 per month which was increased to rs 3000 per month w.e.f 1/1/2009.

 

it seems that the question reads as under:

 

HRA Received(upto 31/12/2008) = Rs. 3,000 p.m.

HRA Received(upto 31/03/2009) = Rs. 6,000 p.m.

 

now plz refer to the sheet attched

sorry bro, its Rs.3500 instead of Rs.3000

i have to modify the question.......

dear friends now question is modified

please solve it

 

1) April - May: Salary [5000+2500] x 2 = 15000/-

No HRA exemption as no rent paid during the year.

 

2) June - Oct: Salary [5000+2500] x 5 = 37500

HRA exemption is lower of;

a) 3000 x 5 = 15000

b) 3000 x 5 - 10% x 37500 = 11250

c) 50% of 37500 = 18750

 

3) Nov - Dec: Salary [5000+2500] x 2 = 15000

HRA exemption is lower of;

a) 3000 x 2 = 6000

b) 4000 x 2 - 10% x 15000 = 6500

c) 50% of 15000 = 7500

 

4) Jan: Salary [5000+25000 = 7500

HRA exemption is lower of;

a) 3500

b) 4000  - 10% x 7500 = 3250

c) 50% of 7500 = 3750

 

5) Feb - march: Salary [5500+2750] x 2 = 16500

HRA exemption is lower of;

a) 3500 x 2 = 7500

b) 4000 x 2 - 10% x 16500 = 6350

c) 50% of 16500 = 8250/-

Total HRA exemption for the year.26850/-

 

Computation of Gross salary:

 

Basic salary {(5000 x 10) + (5500 x 2)]                           61000

DA                  {100 % of basic}                                           61000

HRA : {(3000x9) + (3500x3)} : 37500

Less: exmpt                             :  26850                             10650  

                                  Gross salary                                    132650                                   

thanks ashish ur answer is correct

thanx for solving this question

Dear Ashish ur answer is correct but u will not get full marks since u have taken 50% in june to oct HRA exemption calculation

50% of the salary (basic + DA) if located in Metros like Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata or Chennai and 40% of salary if located elsewhere.

agree with amit
