Hello Experts,

I have taken home loan from SBI.

are there any restrictions ?

I will apricate for any help in this regard.

Thanks,

Quick Summary

This discussion explores whether it's possible to claim both House Rent Allowance (HRA) and home loan tax deductions (Section 24b and 80C) simultaneously. The general consensus is that you can claim both, but only if your place of residence and employment are in different cities. Specific conditions apply to HRA claims, so it's important to ensure you meet all the criteria, particularly regarding not occupying the property yourself.

Both cannot be availed simultaneously, unless your place of residence & employment are in different cities. (Or very far off....)

Yes, you can claim both the deductions provided you can suffice your claim that you are not using the property for your stay. You are under employment in another city.
