I have a flat A in Navimumbai worth 35 lacs (with loan of 10 lacs ) and have purchased another flat B in Thane (with loan of 75 lacs ). Both properties are in ready possession. Since i have my office in mumbai. Can i claim HRA, show the 1st and 2nd property let out ? Also since i would be eligible for incometax rebate of 1 lacs towards principal and 1.5 lacs towards interest towards Flat A . Would like to know if i can claim the additional interest born on Flat B which would comparatively be high approx (5-7 lacs per annum). Is there any limit on the interest to be claimed on FLat B

1. you can claim HRA only if you are actually living in a house not owned by you and you are actually paying rent. otherwise no deduction is allowed
2. even assuming that you continue to remain in the Flat A, Flat B shall be considered deemed let out and you can claim any interest expense against it without any limit.

Many thanks for your response. But kindly update if Flat A is in Navi mumbai and Flat B is in Thane while i stay at mumbai. still i'll not be able to claim HRA ? I am ok with Flat A also being letout ?
Since currently i stay with my parents in their flat, so i can create an agreement with them and show that i pay rent towards the same. On the Flat A i can show this as let out and show the rent on the same as well. Technically do u foresee any issue ?

Parental Flat is in my dad's name and i am paying rent to them. will i be able to claim HRA ? Will show Flat A and Flat B as let out and since the the interest is more than the rent recd, will be showing loss from both properties in my tax returns
