Note 1: Calculation of HRA
Exemption u/s 10(13A)
Salary for HRA calculation
purposes includes Basic Pay + DA (if it forms part of retirement
benefits). Assuming DA forms part of
retirement benefits: = ₹1,20,000 + ₹12,000 =
1,32,000
Under Section 10(13A), the exempt HRA is the minimum
of the following three parameters:
a) Actual HRA Received: $30\%$ of Basic Salary = ₹36,000
b) Rent Paid minus 10% of Salary:
72,000 – 10% of 1,32,000 = 58,800
c) 50% of Salary = 50% of
1,32,000 = 66,000
The lowest value is ₹36,000. Hence, the entire HRA received is fully exempt, leaving the
taxable HRA component at Nil

Note 1: Employer's Contribution to Recognized Provident Fund (RPF)
Under the Income Tax Act, the employer's contribution to an RPF is
exempt up to 12% of the employee's salary
(Salary = Basic + DA forming part + Turnover Commission). Since the question
lists a flat gross salary of ₹3,90,000, 12%
equals ₹46,800. The employer's actual contribution is only ₹10,000, which falls
well below the exemption ceiling. Hence, it has a tax impact of Nil at the salary compilation stage.
