How HRA exemption works

Under Section 10(13A), the exempt HRA is the least of these three:

  • Actual HRA received from your employer
  • Rent paid − 10% of (Basic + DA)
  • 50% of (Basic + DA) for metro cities, 40% for non-metro

HRA exemption is available only under the old tax regime and only if you actually pay rent. Figures here are monthly; the annual exemption is 12 × the monthly figure.
