MAF

Maximum

If place of residence is Metro cities (Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata) then 50% of Salary (SAS) otherwise 40% of Salary (SAS)

for the month of April to June.
2. If place of stay is not given in the question take 40% of salary.
3. Salary used here means SAS. SAS = Basic Salary + Dearness allowance ( ) + Commission (if).

P1 : Compute taxable HRA from the following informations:

	Case 1	Case 2	Case 3	Case 4
Salary	4,000 p.m.	3,000 p.m.	11,000 p.m.	7,000 p.m.
Place of residence	Delhi	Agra	Gurgoan	Chennai

Rent Paid	1,400 p.m.	200 p.m.	7,100 p.m.	5,000 p.m.

Solution.

sas	4,000	3,000	11,000	7,000
Maximum	2,000	1,200	4,400	3,500
Actual	1,500	700	5,000	3,000
Formula	1,400 - 400 = 1,000	200 - 300 = nil	7,100 - 1,100 = 6,000	5,000 - 700 = 4,300
Taxable HRA (Actual - least is taxable)	(1,500 - 1,000) = 500 x 12 = 6,000	(700 - 0) = 700 x 12 = 8,400	(5,000 - 4,400) = 600 x 12 = 7,200	(3,000 - 3,000) = 0 x 12 = Nil

Note : Superannuation salary (SAS) = 2,000 + 600 = ? 2,600 p.m.

Actual	Actual HRA received	1,000 p.m.
