27 July 2013 40% of the basic: 693,000, Actual HRA 900,000, excess of rent paid over 10% of the basic is -11,300. Is the assessee eligible for HRA exemption u/s 10(13A) because of the negative figure?

27 July 2013 How the negative amount arrived? what is the rent paid value.

Basic RS.693000 in that 10% is 69300. incase your rent paid value is below Rs.69300 then only negative will appear.

such as case HRA exemption is not available for that person

28 July 2013 There is a straight forward condition.

.
No HRA exemption is allowed when the rent paid is below 10% of Basic Salary +DA(T).
.
It is expected by the law that at least 10% of salary should be borne by the assessee.
