21 December 2013 Hi

Since rent is not paid by an employee, he can not claim deductions.

If he is paying Rent him self then he can claim HRA.

Since employee is owning only one house property then it is owned Property which is not occupied him due to his employment in given case & he can claim deductions under 224(b).
