The basic of Mr X is 1 lakh PM. He has paid rent of 120000 (20000 om for 6 month ) for rest of 6 month he worked from home . While calculating HRA exemption one of criteria is Rent Paid. 1.20 lakh Less 1/10 basic 1.20 lakh 12 L /10 . If 1/10 of whole salary is calculated he is not getting any exemption . Can he consider 6 months basic ( 6 lakh ) as he has paid HRA of 6 months only . Is this logic is correct ? Then he is getting exemption of 60000 . ( 120000 less 60000 ) Please guide

Yes, that is the correct procedure, provided utility accept it. Get form 16 from employer to that effect, in that case it will be considered.
