28 January 2011 You may declare any house as self occupied.

But you will not HRA benefit since , you are having own house in the city where you are working.

28 January 2011 For HRA - you have to incur expenditure towards payment of rent for the house. Since you reside in own house, you are not entitled to claim exemption for HRA.
