11 January 2011 1). no deduction for rent paid by him for rented house will be available.
2). he can claim HRA, if the property is taken as LOP.
3). if he show property as SOP, no HRA can be claimed.

in my opinion, he can go for any of the options as in pt. 2 or 3.

clarification still needed on this query..

Actually he is claiming HRA on the basis of rent by him on the rented property he is residing.

he is showing Notional rent to his own property as it is kept vacant and claim the interest (actual ) .

The assumption is Ok ?
