Hello Seniors,
I have a small doubt. What is the calculation of HRA ? is it calculated on Basic or Gross salary? As per my knowledge it is calculated 40% of Basic for non Metro Cities and 50% of Basic for Metro Cities.
I had a discussion with my Senior Manager yesterday where she told me that few of the manufacturing companies calculate HRA on Gross Salary.

Actual HRA received from the employer
For those living in metro cities: 50% of (Basic salary + Dearness allowance)
