Quick Summary
The House Rent Allowance (HRA) exemption under section 10(13A) is applicable for Assessment Year (AY) 2020-21. For AY 2021-22 onwards, HRA exemption remains available if you choose the old tax regime. However, opting for the new tax regime (section 115BAC) means you cannot claim HRA exemption.

Choice is.provided in budget. whether you want to take Benefit of various section or.give up
But it's for AY 2021-22

The exemption for House Rent Allowance u/s 10(13A) is squarely applicable for AY 2020-21.

From AY 2021-22, if you remain in the old regime of taxation then exemption for House Rent Allowance u/s 10(13A) will apply. However, if you opt for the new tax regime as provided under section 115BAC then you will not be able to claim the exemption for House Rent Allowance u/s 10(13A).

Hope this clarifies.
