Hra and rent paid

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether you can claim both House Rent Allowance (HRA) exemption and deductions for rent paid. Generally, you can only claim one. However, there are specific circumstances, like owning a house with a mortgage in your native place while renting elsewhere for work, where claiming both might be possible. The exact amount deductible for HRA depends on rent paid, salary, and city type, while claiming rent paid as a deduction under Section 80GG has its own conditions and limits.

It's not individual discussion, it's healthy discussion.
Yeah it's healthy discussion.

Query very important.

Judgement is made in favour of assessee . Kindly check once

Because I didn't read anyone and you are saying that there are some case laws so I thought you know it.

Reference is drawn to the decision of Hon’ble High Court of Delhi in CIT v. Mr. Justice Avadh Behari Rohtagi [1986] 157 ITR 441 wherein it was held that where a person owns a house property in a city and resides at another house in the same city by virtue of his employment, exemption u/s 23(2) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 shall be available in respect of the house owned. Upon perusal of the aforementioned provisions, it can be concluded that deduction u/s 24(b) and exemption u/s 10(13A) are altogether different. Section 24(b) operates independently of section 10(13A) and none of the two sections exclude the operation of the other. Nothing in the two sections precludes an assessee from claiming benefits under both the sections simultaneously, provided aforementioned conditions are fulfilled. Hence, it can be concluded that an assessee can claim deduction u/s 24(b) in respect of housing loan taken to acquire a house property. At the same time, exemption of HRA u/s 10(13A) can be claimed in respect of rent paid for residential accommodation occupied by him if he resides at a place other than owned by him.
Query is claiming of HRA and rent deduction together, not in respect of interest on house loan and HRA together. Firstly check the query
