Hi,

I am renting two houses. One in Hyd and One in Bangalore. I am working in bangalore. My family (parents, wife and kid) stays in Hyd and I will be staying in Bangalore. 

HYD rent is 15000 (big house, since family stays)

BLR rent is 5000 (paying guest)

I think, I cannot claim HRA for two houses. 

Can I claim HYD rent as HRA instead of BLR ?

If yes, can you let me know which rule I should tell to the finance dept to consider HYD rent.

Thanks,

Satish
