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.
