Hi..

If an employee has own house..but stays in rented house only becuase of Employment in other city then he can claim HRA as well as Interest & principal amount on Housing loan..

If the loan is taken for same city and not claiming 80C deduction for repayment of housing loan as he has not taken posession..he can still claim HRA...

But posession should not be delayed only becuase to get HRA benefit..

And regarding rent reciepts & agreement it depends on Employer policy..

Normally Rent reciepts are enough..

Dear Sir,

Pl tell me for 2nd case whether I should claim HRA exemption or

80C & Interest loss
