How is HRA Exemption Calculated?

📚 Section 10(13A) — The 3-Condition Rule

The HRA exemption is the minimum of the following three amounts:

  1. Actual HRA received from your employer
  2. Rent paid minus 10% of Basic Salary (annual)
  3. 50% of Basic Salary if you live in a metro city (Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai), or 40% of Basic Salary for non-metro cities

Note: You must actually be paying rent to claim HRA exemption. You cannot claim HRA if you live in your own house or do not pay rent.
