Hello peoples,
Is that possible to avail both HRA and Housing loan tax benefits at the same time? In my case we have took a home loan and constructed a house in my native where my parents live. And I’m staying in Chennai in a rented house. So our house property is self occupied in my native and I do pay my rent in Chennai. Am I eligible to avail both the benefits?
Thanks

I have booked an apartment from a builder. The building is under construction and due for possession in more than a year time. I have availed a housing loan for which I am paying EMI. I am staying in a rented house in the same city. My query: Can I calim exemption on both, rent paid and interest paid for the loan? Do I need occupancy certificate to avail exemption on housing loan?
What will be the answer once I occupy and start living in the new (own) house and continue pying my EMI as usual. Can I claim HRA and interest exemption both in this case?
