House rent to parents

If you have bought a house with the help of a home loan and live in another house on rent, you can claim tax benefit for both. But if the house you bought and the house you live in are in the same city, you should have a genuine reason for not living in the house that you own. The reasons could be that the house you own is too far from your workplace, or the commute is very difficult. You may need to provide these explanations to your employer, or the income tax authority in case there is a scrutiny of the details that you have provided.
