House Rent Allowance exemption under section 10(13A) requires choosing the minimum of three salary-based tests to determine taxable HRA.
The exemption under section 10(13A) and Rule 2A is the minimum of actual HRA received, rent paid in excess of ten percent of salary, and the prescribed percentage of salary. In the example actual HRA is 36,000; excess rent over ten percent of salary is 26,400; forty percent of salary is 38,400. The exempt amount is therefore 26,400 and the remaining 9,600 is included in gross salary.
