if the person is residing in his own house, he can't claim HRA as deduction. He can claim only int. and repayment of house loan.

Thank you Mr. Gupta for your reply,
In that case what about the rent the company is paying for his accomodation, shall I treat it as perqs and give the deductions for housing loan ?
