Will some one explain the concept of HRA

Hey its really not about HRA and its treatment but its something that i have learnt by just studying in my own way and may be you can also get same like things!!!!!!!!!!!

here is what i got !!

 

The provision of HRA are:

1. Amout Recd.

2.Rent-10% of salary

3. 40/50% of salary>>>>>>>>>>>>

 

As far as i know when i have been for coaching in my PE2 & Final for Taxes what i have learnt for HRA is the computation in above manner but today when i myself was writing the notes i just had an another look @ it.............

The 2nd provision is rent - 10% of salary.......... we calculate and put it up thats it.....................

but i will write in such a way that i dont wanna ever forget the concept for the rest of my life :

If your rent is 10% or less than 10% of your salary you will not get any exemption for HRA.

i.e the govt assumes that 10% of your salary can go for your House rent and so it does not require any compensation.

So i have never come accros such a thing and i am really not sure that it is correct!!!!!!!!!

I want you to have a look @ it and let me know>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

thank you!!

1) HRA Received:
2) 40% of Basic + DA for Non Metro city
3) 50% of Basic for Metro City (Chennai, Delhi, Kolkata or Mumbai)
4) Rent paid-10% of Basic.

Yes, it is correct. Actual Rent less 10% of salary.
