10(13A)-House rent allowance

Yes, you can claim an exemption under Section 10(13A) for House Rent Allowance (HRA) even if you are currently residing in a city different from your official work location. This is permissible if you are genuinely living in that rented accommodation. For example, if your work is based in Delhi but you've relocated to Pune due to circumstances like the pandemic, you can still claim the HRA exemption.
