Firstly, i must tell you that section 10(13A) deals with HRA and not Section 10(b). Lower of the following is available as exemption: i)Actual rent paid-10% of salary ie. 50000-20000=30000 ii)50% of salary or 40% of salary depending on the city in which house is taken on rent.(ie 100000) iii) Actual HRA received.(ie 26000) therefore 26000 will be exempt Provided that the assessee, spouse, minor child do not have a residential house property in that city.
