Hi There is nothing as Minimum HRA. If you declare HRA less than the exempted amount then if the employee is tax payee then he/she will be ending up in paying more IT.

Thanks Jeevarathnam, I wanted to know if there is any minimum limit set by the employer? As I am getting HRA as 11% of my basics, and I'm living in a rented house. Generally, it is 40%, so at the end of the year, I will end up paying more tax. Is there a way I can ask for more HRA by reducing the amount from my special allowances (keeping CTC the same)?

Shruti,
There are no fixed rules regarding what percentage of your basic salary should be allocated to your House Rent Allowance (HRA). It varies from company to company.
1) The actual house rent allowance received from your employer.
2) The actual house rent paid by you, minus 10% of your basic salary.
3) 50% of your basic salary if you live in a metro area, or 40% of your basic salary if you live in a non-metro area.
This minimum of the above is allowed as an income tax exemption on the house rent allowance.

Speak to your HR, if company policy permits to change the HRA Vs. Spl. Allowance, it is always advisable and also HR/Finance do keep employees benefit in mind before finalizing the Salary Structure.

Dear All,
It's almost the same question. I'm an employer setting up different pay structures for employees in Bangalore. Can I set any minimum percentage as HRA for my housekeeping employees? (Minimum wages range from 7,751 to 12K, based on profile). Housekeeping staff won't generally be earning enough to pay taxes.
My question is, can I set 7% or 8% or any minimum percentage for their HRA? I understand the maximum slabs are 40% and 50%. But my question pertains to the minimum percentage.
Thank you for the clarification.

Dear Seniors,
Presently, one employee receives a gross salary of 13000 (basic + DA = 8375, HRA = 2570, Conveyance = 1600, & Other Allowance = 455). As per the minimum wages of 2018, their basic + DA is supposed to be 14100. Can I increase Basic + DA to 14100 and set the rest of the components to zero? Is it mandatory to pay HRA?
Thanks & regards,
