You can not claim entire 75000/- HRA, HRA can be claimed as per sec 10(13A) least of three,
1.Actual HRA received 2.40% of salary (50% of the salary if the rented property is in Metro City i.e. Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai or Kolkata) 3.Actual rent paid less 10% of salary
Salary includes basic salary, dearness allowance (if it enters into retirement benefits) and fixed percentage commission on turnover achieved by the employee.
