Incentive amount cannot be added to Gross salary to take HRA Exemption.
Salary means BASIC salary (+ DA if terms of employment so proivde. It also includes commission bases on a fixed percentage of turnover achieved by an employee as per terms of contract of employment) but excludes all other allowances and perquisits.
Hence incentives cannot be treated as salary for HRA.
