I am a fresher going to Join a construction company in Mumbai. The offer is quite good.
I am getting 5.0 Lakhs per annum CTC
I would be getting Rs. 34,000/- per month in hand (inclusive of HRA)
I am thinking of residing at my Aunt's place in Mumbai. She is an NRI.She has told me that I can stay there for free, as she is not going to return back to India for the next 2 years.
I want to know:
1. Whether this HR Allowance, which will be given to me is taxable?
2. If yes, how can I reduce my tax burden (in the context of HRA)?
The matter is urgent.
Thank you
