Hi..he can claim both interest and pricipal of housing loan and HRA exemption u/s 10(13A). In his case he can claim actual interest on housing loan (Rs.1.50 Lkahs restriction is not applicable in this case). But he should not claim deduction u/s 80GG.

He can claim Deduction U/s 80C for principal and claim negative income under the head "Income from house property" for interest part. In your case since he is residing in gurgaon in rented accomodation even he has his own house so he can't claim HRA for rent paid.

u can claim Deduction under section 80c for principal and claim interest income under the head "Income from house property" . since you are residing in gurgaon in rented accomodation even you have your own house so you can't claim HRA for rent paid.
