Home loan and HRA EXEMPTION

This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
An employee living in Mumbai with their head office in Delhi has a home loan in Mumbai and currently rents in Mumbai. They are seeking clarification on whether they can claim both House Rent Allowance (HRA) and home loan benefits. Generally, if you own a property and have a home loan for it, you cannot claim HRA for rent paid in the same city, even if your office is elsewhere.
