Understanding HRA Exemption

If you are an employee planning a vacation to the Andaman Islands, understanding your tax exemptions can help you free up travel capital. Here is how the Income Tax Department calculates your House Rent Allowance:

  • Metro vs. Non-Metro: If you reside in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, or Chennai, you can claim up to 50% of your Basic Salary. For all other cities (including Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Port Blair), the limit is 40%.
  • Mandatory PAN: If your annual rent paid exceeds โ‚น1,00,000 (approx โ‚น8,333/month), you must provide your landlord's PAN card to your employer to claim this exemption.
  • Zero Rent Paid: If you live in your own house or do not pay rent, your HRA becomes fully taxable.
