Main condition is payment of rent. When you work at a metro and reside at a non-metro. In this case, your city of residence only will be considered for calculating your HRA. - See more at: https://taxguru.in/income-tax/house-rent-allowance-hra-taxability-and-workingcalculation-of-taxable-hra.html#sthash.a1sOwO71.dpuf

Our employer is not agreed to it asking for the Act ref. As per them HRA can be claimed for the same city only where i am working in. They have the logic agst their stand is -HRA exemption word cover occupied by the employee by the Me which is not meeting.
