Employees generally receive a house rent allowance (HRA) as 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. Exemption on HRA is available under Section 10(13A) of the Income Tax Act and Rule 2A of the Income Tax Rules. Taxpayer would be surprised to see that there is no amount wise upper ceiling on HRA exemption.

Such deduction is permissible subject to the following conditions :- (a) the employee has not been in receipt of any House Rent Allowance specifically granted to him which qualifies for exemption under section 10(13A) of the Act; (b) the employee files the declaration in Form No. 10BA.

The Indian income tax laws cast an obligation on an employer to withhold taxes at the time of payment of salaries. Employers, therefore, withhold taxes on salary paid after allowing a deduction to the extent of prescribed investment/savings.
It is proposed to allow a standard deduction upto Rs 40,000/- or the amount of salary received, whichever is less. Consequently the present exemption in respect of Transport Allowance (except in case of differently abled persons) and reimbursement of medical expenses is proposed to be withdrawn.
Assessee was a non-employee director and share holder in the company and no salary or director’s fees was paid to her by the company during the year under consideration.
It is pertinent to note that the assessee has actually received the salary from his previous employers after deducting the notice period as per the job agreement with them. Therefore, in our considered view, the actual salary received by the assessee is only taxable.
