I used to stay with my parents in a rented place in Delhi - wherein I used to claim HRA exemption. Now, I have switched jobs and moved to Bangalore. I stay in a hotel here, so there is no rental agreement and hence I cannot claim HRA exemption here. However, I am continuing to pay rent for my rented place in Delhi (which has my name as the first name in the rental agreement), since my parents are staying there.
My question is - Since I cannot claim HRA exemption for my hotel stay in Bangalore, can I claim the exemption for the rent I pay for the Delhi house (even though my job location is Bangalore).
Thanks in advance!
