Yes you can claim the benefit of Rent Paid(HRA) & Home Loan at the same time. there is no bar on doing such, provided that you are able to produce the Rent Receipts and your father is not being affected by showing the rental income in his asst.
If you have not got the possession of the house from the builder, then you wont be able to claim the benefit of interset paid on your home loan till you get the possession of your house. However you can claim the dedcution on account of principal paid to the extent of 1lacs only u/s 80C.
