HRA IS 40% FOR NON METROPOLITIAN CITIES AND FOR METRO ITS 50%
THIS IS AJMER SO 40% U CAN TAKE AS PER OUR INCOME TAX ACT…

SO HIKE OF 10 OR 20% IS NOT ARISING IT DEPENDS ON UR SALARY WHICH U EARNED.

SIR,
HERE IF HRA IS BASED ON BASIC SALARY THEN HRA FOR ILL.B WILL RS.550 ( 25% OF BASIC SALARY)

By: Ramesh

An Employee getting the following from Apr 10 to Dec 10

Illustration-A
1. Basic 1000 + DA 250 = 1250
2. HRA = Rs.500
3. Actual Rent Paid = Rs.700

In this case the employee eligible for HRA of Rs.500 (least amount)

The same employee getting the following from Jan 11 to Mar 11

Illustration-B
1. Basic 1100 + DA 275 = 1375
2. HRA = Rs.550
3. Actual Rent Paid = Rs.700

In this case is the employee eligble for Rs.550 or Rs.500(as per the Illustration-A)

Since the employee may not pay the Increased HRA (of Rs.50) to the Owner of his house.

Kindly clarify
Ramesh P.
