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

I think you can claim deduction of Bang House only since you are residing in it.

you can claim only at Bangalore but not at Hyderabad because as per rule says . There is one more option is there u can claim hra in Bangalore and also u can claim interest on house if have own house in Hyderabad if u taken loan
