HRA is exempt to the extent of Least of the following; a. Actual HRA received b. Actual rent paid less 10% of salary c. 50% of salary in case the accommodation is situated in Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata or Chennai and 40% of salary in case of any other city From the above, it can be argued that the deduction is subject to actual rent paid. In your query, the actual rent paid by the employee is Rs. 1.80 lac (i.e. Rs. 90,000/- to each joint owner) and hence in my opinion the benefit of HRA will be calculated considering the actual rent paid of Rs. 1.80lacs
