How HRA Exemption is Calculated

Mathematical Formula:
Minimum of: (1) Actual HRA received, (2) Rent paid minus 10% of (Basic + DA), (3) 50% (metro) or 40% (non-metro) of (Basic + DA)

HRA exemption reduces your taxable income if you live in rented accommodation. The actual exemption is the lowest of three salary factors as per Section 10(13A).
