You are entitled claim both, as you have to reside in a different place than the one where your property is located. That is HRA as well as deduction in respect of interest can be claimed.

You are entitled to claim both. 1.S. 10(13A) r/w Rule 2A talks about HRA. Conditions for claiming HRA a. You must actually incur the expenditure b. You must not be the owner of the house wherein you are residing i.e u must not be the owner of the Delhi house. c. You must be receiving HRA specifically for the purpose of rent.
Nowhere is it stated that u cannot be the owner of another house.
