As per section 17(2),
"Perquisite" includes -
(i) The value of rent-free accommodation provided to the assessee by his employer;
It needs to be seen whether Rent is deducted or HRA is not paid. If HRA is not paid at all, then it becomes a rent free accomodation and is treated as a perquisite accordingly.

I agree with Mr. Lakhotia.
However other view may also be considered..
.
If the amount of HRA is deducted from the salary it means the same amount has been paid towards Rent. HRA is exempt on minimum amount from the following criteria-
1. 40%/ 50% of Salary
2. Rent Paid-10% of Salary
3. Actual Amount of HRA Received.
Leaving the First Criteria aside, assume that Rent Paid is equal to HRA, then also 10% of salary comes out as to be taxable.
.
In the given situation, It is better to treat the house as Concessional accommodation so that the deduction of amount (HRA) can be considered as Rent Recovered from the employee.
