Salary Calculation Query
Dear Experts, if an employee is present for 20 days and absent for 10 days, is their Basic salary calculated based on the 20 days worked? Does this have the same effect on their HRA?
For example, if the Basic Salary is 6000.00 and the employee is present for 20 days, the calculation would be 4000/-.
What is the HRA Calculation in this scenario? Is it the same, i.e., Rs. 3000/- or Rs. 2000/-?
Thanks,

HRA Calculation Based on Days Worked
HRA will be calculated proportionately on the total amount of basic salary, whether the employee works for 20 days or 30 days. If they work for 30 days and their basic salary is ₹6000.00, then the HRA would be ₹3000.00 (for metro areas, 50% of basic) and ₹2400.00 (for non-metro areas, 40% of basic). If they work for 20 days and their basic salary is ₹4000.00, then the HRA would be ₹2000.00 (for metro areas, 50% of basic) and ₹1600.00 (for non-metro areas, 40% of basic).
