Understanding HRA Exemption

House Rent Allowance (HRA) is a crucial component of your salary if you live in a rented house. The HRA exemption can be claimed under Section 10(13A) of the Income Tax Act. The amount of HRA exemption is the minimum of the following three amounts:

  • Actual HRA received.
  • 50% of (Basic salary + Dearness Allowance) for those living in metro cities (40% for non-metro cities).
  • Actual rent paid minus 10% of (Basic salary + Dearness Allowance).

Make the most of your salary with our HRA Calculator. Ensure you claim the right amount of exemption and save on taxes.
