I have a housing loan towards which I pay an interest of Rs. 2.4 lacs p.a the house is rented out @Rs.2000 per month. As this current house is far away from my place of work eventhough in the same city I have rented out a house for Rs. 9000 p.m., my company gives me an HRA of Rs. 8000 p.m.
Can I claim tax exemption on HRA (of course as per its specfic rules whichever is lowest of the 3 options) along with full deduction of Rs. 2.4 lacs minus Rs. 24000 rent receipts from my taxable Income.? How do I need to declare this rent receipts of Rs. 24000 p.a. as my company issues me Form16?
