Q1. Mr X is employed in a company at Rs 15000 p.m. He is a member of Recognised Provident Fund to which he and his employer contributes 15% of his salary. During the year he was given credit of Rs 12000 as interest on the provident fund balance of Rs 100,000. Calculate the taxable amount of annual accretion to be included in his income under the head salaries.
Ans=Rs 7900

Solution:
Basic salary (15000*12)                                                              =Rs 180,000
taxable contribution in RPF by employer (15%-12%) of salary   =Rs (180,000*3%)
=Rs 5400

Exempted amt of Interest in fund balance (9.5% of Rs 100,000) =Rs 9500
Taxable amount of Interest in fund balance (12000-9500) =Rs 2500

Ans.

2.       Excess of Rent paid over 10% of salary  = 9,600
       (Rent paid-10% of Salary) 
       (48,000-38,400)

3.       As the accommodation Is not situated in specified cities, 40% of salary (40% of 384,000) = 153,600
       
        Exempted amount of H.R.A.              = 9,600
        Taxable amount of H.R.A.                  = 50,400

  2.  Excess of Rent paid over 10% of salary =  48,000
       (Rent paid-10% of Salary)
         (84,000-36,000)
  3.  As the accommodation Is not situated in specified cities, 40% of salary (40% of 360,000)  = 144,000

       Exempted amount of H.R.A.               = 48,000
       Taxable amount of H.R.A.                        = 12,000
           [Actual amt of H.R.A.-Exempted amt]
           [60,000-48,000]

      Exempted amount of H.R.A.                      = 24,000
      Taxable amount of H.R.A.                          = NIL
       [Actual amt of H.R.A.-Exempted amt]
       [24,000-24,000]
