Deduction of hra

I am a salaried employee and my company doesnt give me HRA separately as it is included in my Total salary. so i want to ask you whether i can claim deduction of HRA from my Salary income. secondly the place where i am living in a rented house, i have a commercial property in my name and i am recieving the rent from the company for that property. can i claim the HRA deduction or not.

To claim HRA exemption, you should get the allowance from the employer. Check your salary structure contains House Rent Allowance. If HRA is not part of your salary, you can’t claim any tax exemption.
 

For claiming HRA (house rent allowance) the correct word is EXEMPTION and not DEDUCTION. 

Vishal Ji is absolutely right. You can't claim for HRA exemption until HRA doesn't form part of your salary and in your case, if your employer pays you HRA, you should think twice before claiming HRA exemption because you should have a proper reason for a justified explanation for why you are living in a rented house in spite of having your own house.

And still if you claim HRA, you have to include 'income from house property' in your total income.
