Basic salary

It’s a specific component of your paycheck and it forms the basis of other parts of your paycheck, hence the name. For example, HRA is defined as the percentage of this basic salary (as considered by the company). Your PF is deducted 12% of your basic salary. This is usually a large portion of your total salary.

House rent allowance

 

Salary earners, who live in rented houses/apartments, can claim house rent allowance or HRA for a tax deduction.  The Income Tax Act prescribes a procedure for calculating HRA which can be claimed as an exemption.
