Yes possible
The lowest of the following amounts can be claimed as HRA exemption:

1. Actual HRA received
2. 50% of [basic salary + DA] for those living in metro cities (Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai or Chennai)
3. 40% of [basic salary + DA] for those living in non-metros
4. Actual rent paid (-) 10% of [basic salary + DA]
As per the above calculation actual rent - 10% of the Basic salary would be negative

That means no exemption.

Thanks, is there no option to claim rent paid if it is less than 10% of the Basic Salary

No. Try new tax regime for lower tax.
