Calculate your House Rent Allowance (HRA) exemption know HRA exemption Calculation Formula and download HRA Calculator in excel format for easy calculation of exempt HRA Allowance out of Total HRA received by Salaried Assessee.
Employees generally receive a house rent allowance (HRA) from their employers. This is a part of the salary package, in accordance with the terms and conditions of employment. HRA is given to meet the cost of a rented house taken by the employee for his stay.The Income Tax Act allows for deduction in respect of the HRA paid to employees. The exemption on HRA is covered under Section 10(13A) of the Income Tax Act and Rule 2A of the Income Tax Rules. It is to be noted that the entire HRA is not deductible. HRA is an allowance and is subject to income tax.
An employee can claim exemption on his HRA under the Income Tax Act if he stays in a rented house and is in receipt of HRA from his employer. In order to claim the deduction, an employee must actually pay rent for the house which he occupies.
The rented premises must not be owned by him. In case one stays in an own house, nothing is deductible and the entire amount of HRA received is subject to tax. As long as the rented house is not owned by the assessee, the exemption of HRA will be available up to the the minimum of the following three options:
- Actual house rent allowance received from your employer
- Actual house rent paid by you minus 10% of your basic salary
- 50% of your basic salary if you live in a metro or 40% of your basic salary if you live in a non-metro
This minimum of above is allowed as income tax exemption on house rent allowance.
Salary here means basic salary which includes dearness allowance if the terms of employment provide for it, and commission based on a fixed percentage of turnover achieved by the employee. The deduction will be available only for the period during which the rented house is occupied by the employee and not for any period after that.
Meaning of Salary for calculation the exemption of HRA
- Salary means (Basic + D.A + Commission based on fixed percentage on turnover).
- Salary is to be taken on due basis in respect of the period during which the period accommodation is occupied by the employee in the previous year.
Examples for calculation of exemption/deduction of HRA
X has received following amount during the previous year.
- Basic Salary – Rs. (5000*12) – Rs. 60,000/-
- Dearness Allowance (D.A) – Rs. (1000*12) – Rs. 12000/-
- House Rent Allowance (H.R.A.) – Rs. (2000*12) – Rs. 24000/-
- Actual Rent Paid – Rs.(2000*12) – Rs. 24000/-
Calculation
The minimum of the following amount shall be exempt
- Actual HRA received (2000*12) – Rs. 24000/-
- Rent Paid in excess of 10% of salary ( 24000-7200) – Rs. 16800
- 40% of Salary – Rs. 28800/-
Therefore, Rs. 16800 shall be exempt and the balance Rs. 7200 shall be included in gross salary.
Frequently Asked Questions:-
How is HRA accounted for in the case of a salaried individual and a self-employed professional?
HRA (house rent allowance) is accounted for in the case of salaried people under Section 10 (13A) of Income Tax Act, 1961, in accordance with rule 2A of Income Tax Rules (HRA Exemption Rules). On the other hand, self-employed professionals cannot be considered for HRA exemption under this act, as they do not earn a salary. However, they can claim benefits on the house rent expenses incurred under section 80GG, which resembles section to 10(13A) but is subject to certain conditions.
What are the dependent factors in calculating HRA for the salaried individual?
When you are calculating HRA for tax exemption, you take into consideration four aspects which includes salary, HRA received, the actual rent paid and where you reside, i.e., if it is a metro or non-metro. If these aspects remain constant through the year, then tax exemption is calculated as a whole annually, if this is subject to change, as in a rent hike, pay hike or shift in residence etc., then it is calculated on a monthly basis. It is usually rare for all the values to remain constant in a financial year.
The place of residence is significant in HRA calculation as for a metro the tax exemption for HRA is 50% of the basic salary while for non-metros it is 40% of the basic salary. This holds true especially when you work at a metro and reside at a non-metro. In this case, your city of residence only will be considered for calculating your HRA.
Can I pay rent to my parents or spouse to avail HRA benefits?
You can pay rent to your parents, however, they need to pay tax on the same or account the same in calculating their taxable income.
On the other hand, you cannot pay rent to your spouse. In view of the relationship when you take up residence together, you are expected to do so and hence such a transaction does not bear merit under tax laws. Sham transactions can only spell trouble under scrutiny, so steer clear of these.
Do I need to submit any proof for my HRA claim?
You need to submit proof of rent paid through rent receipts, for which only two need to be submitted, one for the beginning of the year and one towards the end of the financial year. It should have a one rupee revenue stamp affixed with the signature of the person who has received the rent, along with other details such as the rented residence address, rent paid, name of the person who rents it etc.
Can I simultaneously avail tax benefits on my home loan and HRA?
The tax benefits for home loan and HRA are two separate entities and have no direct bearing on each other. As long as you are paying rent for an accommodation, you can claim tax benefits on the HRA component of your salary, while also availing tax benefits on your home loan. This could be the case if your own home is rented out or you work from another city etc.
EXTRACT OF RULE 2B OF INCOME TAX RULES I.E. HRA EXEMPTION RULES
Limits for the purposes of section 10(13A) .
2A. The amount which is not to be included in the total income of an assessee in respect of the special allowance referred to in clause (13A) of section 10 shall be—
(a) the actual amount of such allowance received by the assessee in respect of the relevant period; or
(b) the amount by which the expenditure actually incurred by the assessee in payment of rent in respect of residential accommodation occupied by him exceeds one-tenth of the amount of salary due to the assessee in respect of the relevant period; or
[(c) an amount equal to—
(i) where such accommodation is situate at Bombay, Calcutta, Delhi or Madras, one-half of the amount of salary due to the assessee in respect of the relevant period; and
(ii) where such accommodation is situate at any other place, two-fifth of the amount of salary due to the assessee in respect of the relevant period,]
whichever is the least.
Explanation : In this rule—
(i) “salary” shall have the meaning assigned to it in clause (h) of rule 2 of Part A of the Fourth Schedule;
(ii) “relevant period” means the period during which the said accommodation was occupied by the assessee during the previous year.]

Myself Mr. Prakash proprietor of M/s. ABC staying in a rental house paying rent 30000/- per month. am paying the rent through company’s cheque.
Shall I deduct TDS @ 10% and pay the rent and also can I avail the rental benefit.
Mr Prakash
Since you are self employed you cannot take the benefit of HRA.
As far as deducting TDS is concerned, since you are using the house for your residential purpose and not for your business, you need not deduct TDS.

I don’t think relocation is covered in the non taxable category Like LTA and medical. Since the company paid you extra money they would tax you accordingly.
HRA Issue: There must be quite a lot of people who would come under the category that I am going to discuss. ie. those who stay in their own house and do not pay rent but receive the HRA from the company where he / she works. In this case they are not eligible for any deduction – right?
Now my question is what about the society charges they pay. what about the municipal corporation tax. Why these should not be treated under or as rent or some sort of rebate should be provided. do you agree?
is there an upper cap (maximum tax free HRA one can avail?)

My Annual HRA is 100,000 so I am entitled monthly HRA of 8333.33
I am staying in PG accommodation where I am paying 6000/month which is less than the HRA what I get from my company.So if I show 6000/month rent will I get tax exemption?

I was in Noida and joined new company in PUNE. During relocation expense I spent 70000/- almost from my pocket including Household shifting, Travelling with family from Noida to PUNE by flight & Car shifting.
Company promised me to reimburse the amount and after I joined I submitted the actual bills and statement. With in 2 months, I got full payment.
now company is putting the reimbursement paid amount as my INCOME.
I believe it should not be TAXABLE, because I paid from my pocket which is already tax deducted source and now when I got my money back then again it cannot and should not be taxable.
For justification, I gave the clause of 10 (14) 2BB & 17 (3) of Income Tax 1961-62.

Dear sir,
I am residing in a Government allotted quarters. I will get HRA in my salary but my entire HRA will be deducted again under deductions and it will go back to Government. Since HRA is completely deducted from my salary, am I eligible to claim exemption for complete HRA? If yes, please mention the reference section under which I can claim exemption
Thank you
Please provide HRA exempted amount?
HRA exemption limit is not Proved Dear.We will calculate Our Exemption Limit.
For Example :-
Your salary(50000*12)=600000
Dearness Allowance(2000*12)=24000
House Rent Allowance (10000*12)=120000
Actual Rent Paid By You(12000*12)=144000
Then We will Calculate Our Exemption Limit:-
Actual HRA Rec.=120000
Rent Paid in excess (144000-62400)=81600
If U Living In Metro City then 50% = 312000
81600 is Exemption Limit & 38400 (120000-81600) is Add Back in your salary.
I hope you can understand.

hi,
the author keeps ignoring multiple queries regarding HRA claim for people paying rent for 2 houses at the same time – one being self occupied, and another being occupied by parents (in the same town, or in other town).

Many thanks…
Hi, I’m Pallavi and I have a question. Could you please tell me if i can claim exemption on HRA? The situation is I stay with my parents in a rented house and my father pays the rent. Can I still claim exemption on HRA??
IF so then what does my father have to do while filing his tax returns?
I’m Quite new to all this.
Dear Sir,
This is very helpful article. I have some doubts. I received the arrears in the same financial year. Its incremental DA. Will it be included for calculating the HRA deduction?
I received once in April and 2nd time in October.
Thanks.
Mr.R.K.Agarwal: Yes; you can claim the HRA exemption in respect of the House Rent you are paying. Regarding the own house you are not using you can claim the exemption if you are having rental income from that property. No exemption you can get if the property is un-used and idle.
Murtuza: No

The HRA Slab defined by the Govt is absolutely looting money from middle man like me.
The calucation as per Govt HRA Slab as under:
Basic Salary 300000
HRA 150000
40% HRA on Basic Salary 120000
Actual HRA Paid 96000
Exemption available 66000 Being Non Metro
Taxable HRA 84000
Correction required on the above Slab as under:
Correction required in Slab
HRA 150000
Exemption available 96000 Minimum of HRA, 40% on Basic Pay & Actual HRA Paid
Taxable HRA 54000
If I go for calculation of HRA benefit available, I understand that I am getting benefit only for Rs. 12000/- as HRA Exemption as per below calculation
Actual HRA Paid Rs.96000/-
Taxable HRA is Rs.84000/- instead of Rs.54000/-
Benefit what I am getting from HRA is only for Rs.12000/- on furnishing House Rent Receipts, instead of Rs.42000/-
According to above correction, the rufund of TAXABLE HRA should be as under:
More Taxable HRA 30000 Excess Tax to be refundable
If Govt is not able to provide this, then the benefit of 80C to be enhanced from 150000/- to 250000/- considering increasing expenses especially on Vegitables, MILK, Tution Fees as every year Schools and Colleges are increasing Tution Fees but taxable limit is only Rs.24000/- per two children if I have to pay Tution Fees more than Rs.24000/- for an example Rs.36000/- per two children.

IF 10% OF SALARY(BP+DA) IS GREATER THAN ACTUAL RENT PAID. IN THIS CONDITION HOW CAN I GET HRA EXEMPTION UNDER I.T.ACT ?
My employer is seeking original rent receipts for considering exemption under section 10(13A) for the purpose of deduction of tax at my salary. I have produced copies of rent receipts but he is not satisfied and has told me that exemption can not be considered else I produce original rent receipts. However, in my view, if I furnish original rent receipts to the employer and my case comes under scrutiny in future, how shall I be able to furnish the originals to the department. Please guide me.
I have a query in regards to the HRA claim for different cities. My company’s base location is Bangalore and I am working on a project which is based out of Korea. The project is such that we travel for 3 weeks in Korea and spend 1 week in India, during that course of period I generally go to Delhi either on vacation or at times I work from Delhi (from home) as well. The company doesn’t have any office in Delhi.
Can I claim HRA from Delhi considering the income would be shown under my landlord’s name as other income since I am not claiming it for Bangalore?
Mr.PPA: Yes.
i hate the subject
Hi,
As per my company policy for HRA exemption that, i need to submit rent agreement for exempting the tax and my rent is less than 1 lacs per annum.
So if it not mentioned in form 16 during filing TDS, Can I file HRA in Tax return.
thanks,
P P
Dear Suchanthi,Both are possible. When you are getting HRA and not paying any rent means you are staying in self-occupied property and HRA is taxable. Rebate u/s 24B is the negative income arising out of interest payment net of rent received if let out, and whole of it if no rental income.
Sir,
My question is can I avail both HRA and Interest if both houses are in the same locality (in the same apartment).
Do I need to show the house on which I am paying EMI as let out to avail the deduction of interest?.
MrAnup: If the rent paid in excess of 10% of salary is negative, whole of HRA received is taxable. The meaning of the rule is 10% of the salary one is supposed to pay as rent. In case you are not paying even 10% of salary as rent whole of HRA is taxable.
Sir,
H.R.exception limit illustration as given in your post as under
X has received following amount during the previous year.
Basic Salary – Rs. (5000*12) – Rs. 60,000/-
Dearness Allowance (D.A) – Rs. (1000*12) – Rs. 12000/-
House Rent Allowance (H.R.A.) – Rs. (2000*12) – Rs. 24000/-
Actual Rent Paid – Rs.(2000*12) – Rs. 24000/-
Calculation
The minimum of the following amount shall be exempt
Actual HRA received (2000*12) – Rs. 24000/-
Rent Paid in excess of 10% of salary ( 24000-7200) – Rs. 16800
40% of Salary – Rs. 28800/-
Therefore, Rs. 16800 shall be exempt and the balance Rs. 7200 shall be included in gross salary.
Here some basic data of Mr. Y received from employer. please calculate H.R. exemption limit of Mr.Y.
Basic salary:- Rs.20,180 x 12 month= Rs.2,42,160.
D.A.:-Rs. 11,503 x 12 month = Rs.1,38,036.
C.A.:- Rs.325 x 12 month = Rs.3,900.
The minimum of the following amount shall be exempt in case of Mr.Y.
Actual H.R. received by Mr.Y : Rs.2,000 x 12 month = Rs.24,000.
Rent Paid in excess of 10% of salary(Basic + D.A. + C.A.)=
[Rs. 24,000 –Rs.38,410] = (-) Rs.14,410.
40% of Salary – Rs.1,53,638.
Since figure of Rent Paid in excess of 10% of salary(Basic + D.A. + C.A.) is negative , what amount to be H.R. excepted of Mr.Y.
Mr.RBRai, You are eligible for double HRA or accommodation in lieu of HRA.? Civil servants are eligible for extra facility and same may be true for you. Whenever you occupy govt accommodation no HRA is paid.
Sir,
I am an officer in Assam Rifles under Ministry for Home Affairs. Pay and perks is at par with the other Central Police Organisations. This organisation has been fighting NE insurgency since from its inception. NE Region of the country is our home and hearth. We seldom get posted to other part of the country. I am presently posted in Dimapur, Nagaland since from last one year and a half. My wife stays at home because of there is no one to look after my house if she joins me. I have not been occupying my authorised government accommodation e.i. Type IV quarter in my present station instead I have been staying in a Single Officer Accommodation on a sharing basis with another fellow officer. Do I qualify to claim HRA? If, yes, then under which particular rule it is covered. Waiting for your enlightening. Regards!
I have a query :-
Sir I’m in state govt. teaching department. I’m posted in a interior hilly village. So my family(Housewife+children) lives in the city on rent for education of children. I have a room in village too. So can I get the HRA exemption for the rent paid by me in the city. Please also guide about the categories of cities other than 50% and 40% of salary for the exemption.
Mr.Bhuwan: If you are paying rent more than 10% of the salary, you can compute the exemption amount Else no exemption.
MY ANNUAL SALARY RS410000 INCLUDING DA.HRA RECEIVED ANNUAL RS 22080.ANY AMOUNT OF HRA EXEMPT?
my annual salary=[17000+da18000=35000*12=410000,Annual hra received 1840*12=22080 any hra exept?
Can pensioners avail hra exemption?
Mr.Ravikumar, Use the thumb rule. Whatever is used for granting HRA, use that component to compute exemption/rebate. When the HRA is granted based on percent of Basic, basic pay is the salary.
i am comes under the New Pension Scheme(NPS) for the calculation HRA exemptions what will be the salary includes? either take basic+DA+Grade pay or only basic? please clarify this
Thank you for your reply
Mr.Ashish Jay: As are an employee of Thane no need to change the filing of IT to Gwalior. Your income is from Thane. 2). If you are getting HRA and have the authority to work from home away from Thane, and if your employer is satisfied with the expenses towards rent at Gwalior he can allow exemption as per Section 10(13). If you are not getting HRA you cannot claim any exemption on rent.
I also wanted to know that before shifted to Gwalior i am paying income tax under Thane juridiction. as my office in Thane and now i am leaving in Gwalior which is my area of juridiction to pay tax.. and so My AO(Accessing Officer) is from which city (ward). Thane or Gwalior ?
Sir,
Till last year i am staying in rented flat in thane and company also in thane. They gave me HRA.
But since 1st April 2014, I am staying in Gwalior with parents and give rent to parents and my office still in Thane. I am work from home. Do i entitled to received HRA from employer? As i am not in the same city where office is … Is there any such rule that rented house and office must be in same city?
Mr.Rajesh Sheel: For claiming the rebate you must be staying in the rented house. Also you are already in rent free accommodation. You cannot claim rebate strictly. Assuming you dont have rent free accommodation and paying rent and staying in the house your claim will be rent minus 10%, i.e. rent received which works out to Rs.2500 – 1791.
Sir, I am working in PSU and my Basic Pay w.e.f. 1/4/2014 till 31/03/2015 is Rs.17910/-. I am residing in non-family accommodation (rent free) of my company and company is recovering Rs.100/- as quarter recovery for this accommodation. Being residing in non-family accommodation (rent free) I am getting House Rent @10% = Rs. 1791/-Per Month from the company. But, regarding my child education my family is residing at Shimla on rent and I am paying Rs.2500/- Per Month to the Owner of House under proper agreement and rent payment receipts. I shall be highly thankful if your goodself will advise me that as I am residing in non-family accommodation (rent free) of the company and paying rent more than the HRA amount (HRA received Rs.1791/-Per Month & House Rent paid Rs. 2500/-Per Month), therefore can I save tax on the amount paid for rented accommodation if so how much of amount shall I save in tax. Regards
Mr.Puneeth: It is enough. HRA is not received and hence no income. Between taxable income of 2.5 lalk to 2.70 lakh no income tax is payable.
Dear Sir,
I am a contractual staff working in a govt. research organization in Delhi. My current salary is 2300+30% HRA, Office has alloted me a quarter so for that reason I am not eligible to recive HRA with my salary.
Wanted to know that whether income tax will be calculated on total amount of 23000+30%HRA*12 or only at total amount of 23000*12. also I have LIC & Health policy for which i have paid amount of 18000/-. Please suggest me is this enough saving to save my tax or I should have to have some more savings in order to save tax.
Mr.Prasad: Not the whole amount as you are getting HRA.
Sir, I am working in central government as Clerk. My Office has allotted me a BSNL Quarter after making agreement between my central government office and BSNL Office. I am getting HRA Rs.2500/- per month but I am paying Rs.3400/- per month to BSNL as per agreement. I have already calculate the exempted HRA in my case which comes to Rs.8500/-. My question is as follows:
Do I entitle to get deduction of whole amount i.e. Rs.3400/- under HRA, as this is a BSNL quarter (comes under government)?

Hi,My husband handles all maintenance for a property owner of 36 rentals The owner gives us free rent of a rental property he owns but at the end of the year owner always adds the 800.00 per month rent to my husbands earned income my husband is a contractor and this makes him go into a higher tax bracket when you take 800×12 = 9,600 rent that we actually didnt make? Should my husband be able to exclude this as earned income? Thanks for advice and direction for answers.
Mr.SamH: One have to have the rent receipt to claim exempt as per calculation. In your case, house on lease, you have to collect the fair market value from the municipal/local body of your place who will decide based on the location, house taken on lease.

Mr.Rais, Where is your place of work, in govt or private, gross salary is incl: DA or excl?
Sir,
I have The following details in respect of my salary. Please guide me how to calculate HRA?
TOTAL SALARY 378000
DA 78000
HRA REC. 22000(P.A.)
RENT PAID 24000(P.A.)
Mr.Raj: Your inputs are inadequate. The amount you pay to the company for the accommodation is called rent and not HRA. HRA is the amount one receives from the employer towards accommodation. Coming to your specifics; if you are getting HRA when you are not taking the company accommodation, (calculate the HRA received (financial year), rent paid (to the empoyer for quarter or for the place your family is staying and compute the deduction as per standard rule). If you are not getting any HRA , you cannot claim any relief towards payment of rent (to whomever it may be.
Mr.S.Agarwal:Strictly speaking if you dont get HRA but free accommodation at the place of work that cannot be considered as a perquisite. Accommodation guest house or otherwise can be construed as rent free accommodation. If you are getting HRA and rent free accommodation, you have to pay tax for HRA without any deduction.
Sir,I have been deputed from one location to other location so im shifted my family to my native place(in brother house),earlier i was staying in company quaters and hra deducted by company from my salary and now im surrendered the company quarters and presentely company giving me free accomadation, in this case can i show rent paid of my native place.
In case an employee is occupying the guest house of the employer as accommodation.
What will be the Tax Treatment for the same. whether it will be considered under HRA or as a perquisite.
And to the above answer what will be the Tax Liability for the Employee?
Thank you Sudarshana. This info would help.
Sanjib: You have to indicate the PAN of the owner if the rent is above 1,00,000/= per year; i.e. above Rs.8000/= per month. If the receipt is above 1 lakh per year, pl take a xerox copy of the PAN from the owner.
If the owner is not giving xerox copy or original PAN, the rent is much above Rs.8000/= and the employer is un-yielding no need to worry. You can give these details while filing your IT return and get the refund.
My employer is asking PAN CARD of the owner copy for giving the HRA tax benefit. Is it no that if Owner gives a rent receipt and mention his PAN number + address will do?
Aswani kumar: Not to be included. Those allowances that forms part of the salary for the calculation of retirement benefit is to be included. You should n ot include the DA also unless it is DP (Dearness Pay, treated as Basic salary).
sir,
i m an govt employee and getting fixed medical allowance rs 500 per month. I want to ask whether this need to be included in gross salary for calculating HRA exemption
thanking u
ashwani
You can claim exemption where you are staying and paying the rent out of your income.
I am paying rent for two seperate houses
1. I am staying
2. Where my parents are staying.
How do I claim HRA exemption for the above two cases ?
All okey except definition of Salary; Salary should not be taken as Basic plus DA. DA is a variable depending upon the inflation and can go down or up. Strictly speaking it is BASIC any pay that is considered for payment of retirement benefit etc. In the example Rs.19,000 will be exempt from income tax.
Useful information.
AS PER THE CLARIFICATION I WANT TO KNOW IF ANY COMPANY DON’T GIVE THE DA & GIVE SOME SPECIAL ALLOWANCE, LTA .
SO IN THIS CASE HRA CALCULATION IN BASIC SALARY OR THE TOTAL SALARY (INCLUDING – BASIC SALARY =SPECIAL ALLOWANCE +LTA)
PLS CONFIRM

My son is employed & staying in same flat owned by me. He gives me rent .In order to claim tax exemption kindly guide me on following.
1. Whether rent is to be given by cheque only or by cash also allowed.
2. Whether rent has to be given every month or can be given in arrears for say 3/4 months or in advance for say 3/4 months.
3 Whether it is necessary to enter into a leave- licence Agreement or paying guest agreement.
4. Any other care to be taken to ensure tax exemption.

Now my previous employer has made HRA as taxable in form 16. Now, can I simply claim HRA exemption through self assessment while filing income tax return or there is any other process.
Hi,
I have not provided the rent receipts to my employer as I had been abroad during the time of submission and I want to claim HRA exemption when I file the return.
How do I now submit the HRA evidence/proof?
Do I enclose it with the ITR-V that I mail to CPC? However, I remember reading somewhere to not enclose the ITR-V with anything else..
This has reference to the new rule for availing HRA exemption. Since I was unable to submit the PAN Card details of my landlord in time my employer has not given the exempton for HRA in my tax calculations for the current financial year. The entire benefit availed by me in the previous months has been reversed and huge deductions made from my salary for February and March.
Pls advise the course of action for me to recover the tax deducted from me on account of HRA.

Yes, After calculating HRA exemption by considering 3 said conditions of in the Section 10 (13A) and the result of the application of section 10(13A) comes to “ZERO” ie., which ever is lower of 3 conditions of HRA . Then HRA amount exempt u/s 10 (13A) will be “ZERO”
If difference between rent paid and 10% of basic is Zero, then is a person not eligible for any exemption in HRA?
Lets say one’s basic is Rs 50000 and rent of Rs 5000 is paid, then rent paid -10% of basic is zero.What exemption is available in such a case.
Kindly clarify.
Thanks in anticipation.

For FY 2013-14, I have stayed in rented accommodation for only 8 months at a monthly rent of Rs 12000. For the purpose of maximum HRA exemption limit, will the computation be done on a monthly basis or annual basis?
Example- For my case, the monthly HRA comes out to be Rs 8800 but I payed rent of Rs 12000 for 8 months. So shall I claim exemption of 8800 * 8 = 70,400 or shall I claim 12000 * 8 = 96000 ?

Sir
My self and my wife are central government employees we have a two bed room apartment which was purchased in 2002. Now in 2013 we have purchased a 3 bed room apartment (50% share each) and I have taken a loan of rs. 30 lacs. The loan was sanctioned on September, 2012 we were paying pre-emi for the amount of Rs. 2223250.00 which was released on September, 2012. In October, 2013 the final/remaining amount of Rs. 776750.00 was released. I will be shifting to the new house in the month of February – March, 2014. During the financial year 2013-14 the bank has given statement of interest paid and principal paid as under:
Interest Part – 292137.00 and Principal Part – 25446.00
Now I have the following queries
1. can we take the full benefit of principal and interest of both husband and wife at 50% share for income tax purposes. as interest also includes pre-emi interest also as the final loan amount was released in the month of Oct., 2013.
2. what about other income tax rules which I have to follow.
Reply to the above mail is needed urgently.

I work in Chandigarh and living in a rented house in Chandigarh. I have bought a flat in Mohali (actually Greater Mohali, outers of Mohali around Kharar). The distance of my flat from office is approx. 15 Kms. The construction for my flat has completed and I have got possession in January 2012. But I am still living in my rented accomodation in Chandigarh and planned to occupy my flat after 2-3 months. I have the following questions:
1. Since Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula is considered a TriCity area – is mine the case valid for owning house in another city from the city where I am employed? That is can I claim tax exemption on principal repayment at the same time as I claim tax exemption on HRA?
2. My own flat is lying vacant for self occupation after 2-3 months and I do NOT own any other house/property. That is I own only one house property. So is my case considered as “deemed let out”? I read that only if an individual owns more than 1 houses, then additional houses are considered deemed let out even if not actually rented.
So the question is what is my liability for income from house property – 0 or the notional rent value as in deemed let out case?
3. The interest paid for home loan in current financial year is 165000 and 20% of pre construction interest paid is 11000. Can I claim tax exemption on complete 176000 (with no upper cap of 150000) because it is not a self occupied property? and if the rental income = 0 (because the house is lying vacant) can I claim exception on the complete interest figure 176000 (-0 rented income)?
4. I had booked/purchased the flat in March 2009 but got in transferred in my name now in March 2012 (after possession was offered by the builder). Can I claim under section 80C for the stamp duty and registration fees paid for transfer of house in my name? Why I in doubt here is that the provision says that one can claim this exemption under 80C in the year of purchase of house. I purchased/booked the house in March 2009 but paid for stamp duty and registration fees in March 2012 after the possession was offered in Dec 2011.
For computation of HRA, Vashi (Navi Mumbai) shall be considered as a Metro city or a Non-metro city? I think just like New Delhi, even it shall be considered as a Metro City. Request professionals to comment.
The Calculation of rent 10% minus basic is wrongly calculated .
Verify.
DA will also be added

SIR,
HERE IF HRA IS BASED ON BASIC SALARY THEN HRA FOR ILL.B WILL RS.550 ( 25% OF BASIC SALARY)
An Employee getting the following from Apr 10 to Dec 10
Illustration-A
1. Basic 1000 + DA 250 = 1250
2. HRA = Rs.500
3. Actual Rent Paid = Rs.700
In this case the employee eligible for HRA of Rs.500 (least amount)
The same employee getting the following from Jan 11 to Mar 11
Illustration-B
1. Basic 1100 + DA 275 = 1375
2. HRA = Rs.550
3. Actual Rent Paid = Rs.700
In this case is the employee eligble for Rs.550 or Rs.500(as per the Illustration-A)
Since the employee may not pay the Increased HRA (of Rs.50) to the Owner of his house.
Kindly clarify

Hello Sir,
I have recently purchased a flat and have paid up about 1/3rd of its value and the balance is to be paid up in the form of EMI’s for 5 years with interest to the builder. Would I be entitled to claim u/s 24 and section 80C of the Income Tax Act.
Hi,
You can claim the HRA benefit and to claim the Interest you need to occupy the house once the construction is complete. After occupying the house the interest paid till date can be claimed for the next 5 yrs as 1/5 of the amount.

My income is under the tax exemption limit. So when I am filling the ITR-1 form, in section 23, do I need to fill the employers details if there isn’t any TDS deducted from my salary ? So in that case if my form there won’t be any information of my employer, so will that do ?
I am a central govt employee. I have two queries :-
(1) I have received HRA dues for the period Jul-Mar 2008 in the FY 2009-10. I have also received HRA for the period Apr-Oct 09 in the same FY year. My query is whether I can claim exemption of HRA for both the periods in the IT Return for the AY 2010-11? ( I believe I should be doing so because I have received the dues in the current FY, but a confirmation from your side would be welcome)
(2) I would like to know at which para/place in the ITR-1 Form do we need to mention the HRA exempt income and secondly are the details of the calculation of HRA exempt income, to be attached as a separate sheet to the ITR. If so is there a particular format for the same? I have calculated the details month wise because of change in basic pay and D.A. during the year.
Thanks in antic
