Quick Summary
When calculating House Rent Allowance (HRA), if you started a job in November 2019, the actual rent paid should be considered for the 5 months you were employed during that financial year (April 2019 - March 2020). However, for Income Tax Return (ITR) purposes under Section 80GG, you can claim rent paid for the full 12 months, provided you meet the conditions and file Form 10BA.

House Rent Allowance will be calculated for 5 months
Only for 5 months calculation has been done
Calculation of hra on salary will be the 5months...

But,
In ITR u/s 80gg you can claim 12months rent...
Section 80GG
You will be required to file Form 10BA with details of payment of rent.

Deduction –the lowest of these will be considered as the deduction under this section-

(a)    Rs 5,000 per month

(b)   25% of the total Income (excluding long-term capital gains, short-term capital gains under section 111A and Income under Section 115A or 115D and deductions under 80C to 80U. Also, income is before making a deduction under section 80GG).

(c)    Actual rent less 10% of Income

Do take benefit of this section – provided all conditions have been fulfilled by you
