yes u can do so, submit the rent paid receipts to you employer, they will work out your hra exemption after considering the criteria laid for availing deduction under section 10(13 A)

In case of House Rent Allowance least of the following would be exempt:-

a.  an amount equal to 50 % of salary, where the residential house is situated at Bombay, Calcutta, Delhi or Madras and an amount equalt to  40% of salary where the residential house is situated at any other place;

b. Actual HRA; or

c. rent paid excess over 10% of salary.

 

In this way you can take the exemption, least of the above would be exempt and remaining portion of HRA would be taxable....
