Why DA is included while calculating HRA exemption if i was not apart of any pension scheme

I worked on contract and got 4 months sallary from employer.I live in Delhi.My basic sallary was rs56100 ,DA-rs2452.rent paid-11600.hra-7875.Hra exemption was given to me-22980 in form16.
I was on contract,so i was not a part of any pension scheme.Still they included DA while calculating hra exemption.Why?
