Hi Disha,

HRA can be claimed from salary.

Interest on housing loan can be claimed u/s 24(b) subject to a max of Rs. 2,00,000/- (since FY 15-16 onwards; before that it was Rs. 1,50,000/-) as per first and second proviso to Sec 24(b)

Hello,

Agree with Shimi

If you are living on rent and also servicing a home loan, you can take advantage of claiming tax exemption for both house rent allowance (HRA) and repayment of home loan. 

 

HRA exemption towards rent payment

Deduction on home loan interest as per Section 24

Principal Repayment under Section 80C

 

Thanks to all
