➡️Benefits of claiming HRA while staying with family

🔸Save tax as a family

🔸Your parents can deduct property taxes and also claim 30% standard deduction on the rental income.

🔸If they are in a lower tax bracket than you, the family can save tax as a whole.

🔸If they are more than 60 years old, they will also enjoy a higher minimum income exemption limit (Rs.3 lakh for those who are aged above 60 years old and Rs.5 lakh for those who are aged above 80 years old).

🔸In case they do not have any taxable income, you will be able to save significant tax as a family.

The entire HRA received is not always fully exempt from tax. The least of the following three will be taken to exempt from tax:

🔹HRA received from your employer
🔹Actual rent paid minus 10% of salary
🔹50% of basic salary for those living in metro cities
🔹40% of basic salary for those living in non-metro cities
