Dear Sir,

As a principle, Exemption cannot exceed the income..........hence maximum amount that can be claimed exempt is the amount of HRA which you have received..........so its for April & May u can claim HRA as exempt............

Further, I think benefit of Rent paid for the months of June onwards shall not be allowed u/s 80GG, since assessee was getting HRA.

From next year u can claim rent of 12 months u/s 80GG provided u r not in receipt HRA.......
