Step 1-- Data extraction from your query Actual HRA received pm. = 78000/12 = 6500 pm. Your basic salary yearly = 78000/50% = 156000 Your basic salary pm. = 156000/12 = 13000 pm. 10% of basic salary = 13000 X 10% = 1300 pm. Step 2-- Calcultion of actual rent payment required to exempt hra of 6500 pm taking actual rent as 6500 pm than least of 1. Actual HRA = 6500 pm 2. 50% of basic = 6500 pm 3. rent paid less 10% of basic= (6500-1300)= 5200 pm. hence if u pay rent of 6500pm than only 5200 will be eXempt. Now try paying 7800 pm as rent least of 1. Actual HRA = 6500 pm 2. 50% of basic = 6500 pm 3. rent paid less 10% of basic= (7800-1300)= 6500 pm. So if u pay 7800 pm or more than 6500 pm is exempt. 9000 was provided so that u can meditate for the correct answer! Thanks and regards.
