b. In non-metro cities 40% of basic
2. Actual HR received from company as a part of salary / remuneration.
3. Actual Rent paid minus (-) 10% of basic salary.
(basic Salary for this purpose is basic+DA forming part (+) commission on sale on fixed percentage)
Whichever is lesser from the above three (1 or 2 or 3) is exempted from income tax.
