Taxable HRA= Actual HRA received – HRA exemption amount
Example:-
Raman Raghab is employed in a company at Bhubaneswar. His basic salary is Rs.96000, DA is Rs.48000, commission of fixed % on turnover achieved by him Rs.30000, and HRA during 2019-20 is Rs.18000. He paid Rs.24000 as rent for the house occupied by him. Computation of amount exempt from HRA.
Solution:-
Salary = Basic + DA + Commission On Turn Over
Rs.96,000 + Rs.48,000 + Rs.30,000 = Rs.1,74,000
1. Actual HRA received = Rs.18,000
2. Rent paid – (10% of salary) = Rs. 6,600 (Minimum)
Rs.24,000 – (10%of Rs.1,74,000)
3. 40% of salary (40% of Rs. 1, 74,000) = Rs. 69,600
The minimum amount is Rs. 6,600
So, taxable HRA = HRA received – exempt amount
= Rs,18000 – Rs.6600 = Rs. 11400
