## Frequently asked questions

### What if my rent is lower than 10% of my basic salary?

In that case the third limit (rent paid minus 10% of basic plus DA) works out to zero or a very small number, which usually becomes the binding limit, meaning little or no HRA exemption is available even though you receive HRA.
