yes HRA allaowance can be given as a part of CTC. However, as he is staying in self occupied property, he cannot claim exemption u/s 10(13) rule 2A

There is no bar for the employer to give House Rent Allowance as part of his Salary structure to any employee. However the employee will get deduction in respect thereof only if he meets the criteria given under section 10(13A) read with rule 2A of the Income tax Act and Rules
