27 December 2020 I am salaried individual and get HRA under section 10(13a) from employer [30k per annum]

Actual rent paid is 120k per annum. As you would have guessed, due to higher basic salary am getting low HRA exemption.
I wish to claim 60k in section 80GG in addition to section 10(13A). total claim 90k [ 30k section 10(13A) and 60k section 80 GG)

Below are my queries:
1. Is it allowed to claim both section 10(13A) and section 80GG in ITR filing ? I could see the online submission tool allow me to fill values both section 80GG eventhough section 10(13A) was auto populated.
2. Will IT Dept send notice later when actual ITR processing start ? Ideally this should be integrated in ITR filing stage to avoid such things.

Thanks in advance
