2. Annual Dearness Allowance (DA):
₹10,000 × 12 = ₹1,20,000
3. Exemption for HRA (least of the following three):
o Actual HRA received: ₹15,000 × 12 = ₹1,80,000
o Rent paid – 10% of Basic Salary + DA: ₹12,000 × 12 – 10% of (₹4,80,000 +
₹1,20,000)
= ₹1,44,000 – ₹60,000 = ₹84,000
o 50% of Basic Salary + DA (since Priya lives in a metro city): 50% of ( ₹4,80,000 +
₹1,20,000) = ₹3,00,000
