Basics of House Rent Allowance (HRA) Exemption

Subject: Static GK (General Knowledge)

Book: Indian Money Knowledge

Salaried employees can claim HRA exemption if they live in rented accommodation and have a formal rental agreement. The exemption depends on actual rent paid, basic salary, and city category (metro vs. non-metro). Required proofs include rent receipts and PAN of the landlord for higher rents. Students interning or early jobbers should confirm the correct HRA calculation in Form 16, ensuring they don’t overpay taxes and effectively use legitimate rent-related deductions.
