yes u can claim HRA exemption( maximum HRA received) u/s 10(13A) provided u pay rent to landlord and Company provide u HRA.

if HRA not provided but u pay rent then u can claim 80GG exemption ( maximum 60,000)

1. Yes, it is possible to claim HRA exemption u/s 10(13A) if you are truly paying rent for residing in city A. 
2. In fact, principal and interest can also be claimed as a deduction if the property in city B is purchased with the loan amount. 
3. In a nutshell, you can claim deductions u/s 10(13A) if you are paying rent and in receipt of HRA from the Employer. 
Please correct me if the above solution has an alternative view. 

Mr.Suresh you only have to add Rule 2A
