15 April 2010 Exemption u/s 10(13A) is allowable only on any special allowance specifically granted to an assessee by his employer to meet expenditure actually incurred on payment of rent (by whatever name called) in respect of residential accommodation occupied by the assessee.

So you have to occupy the premises and pay rent on the same fro claiming HRA
