Dear Sir, My brother is currently staying in Delhi on rent with his family( self+spouse+ 2 kids) and paying a rent of Rs 30000 p.m. Now he is shifting to Bangalore for new job but he is not shifting his family as it will be a travelling job.
He will take a Smaller accommodation for himself on rent in Bangalore. My question is -
1. Can he claim HRA exemption for the total rentals combined paid in Delhi and Bangalore ? If not, can he claim only for Delhi and not for Bangalore as Delhi rental is very high.
