HRA Exemption Guide for Indian Salaried Employees

House Rent Allowance (HRA) is a common salary component for Indian employees. Understanding exemption rules helps during ITR filing.

What Is HRA Exemption?

HRA exemption reduces your taxable income if you pay rent and receive HRA from your employer. The exempt amount is the minimum of three calculations.

- Rent receipts with landlord details - Rental agreement (for higher amounts) - Landlord PAN (if annual rent exceeds ₹1 lakh)
