Hra and home loan scenario 2

can I claim HRA and home loan together in income tax file

Quick Summary
Yes, you can often claim both HRA and home loan tax benefits, provided your place of employment and your purchased home are in different cities. You can claim up to £2 lakh for loan interest under Section 24(b) and principal repayment under Section 80C. Additionally, interest for self-residential purposes can be claimed up to £1.5 lakh under Section 80EEA, over and above the initial £2 lakh. If both locations are the same city, only the home loan benefits are applicable.

Yes interest on loan u/s 24(b) can be claimed upto 2 lakhs rupees and principal repayment can be claimed u/s 80C and interest on loan for self residential purposes can be claimed u/s 80EEA upto 1.5 lakhs rupees over and above 2 lakhs rupees

Both will be allowed only if your place of employment and the location of house purchased are situated in two different cities.

If they're both located in the same city, then HRA would not be allowed, and only home loan can be claimed.
