These are 2 different things HRA comes under computaion of Salary Income Home Loan benefits come under Sec 23 and 80C The reference manual is the Income Tax Act 1961 and the Rules thereunder

Hi Dhiraj, as you wrote home loan benefit, it means that the assessee owns house property. Hence the rent paid will be Nil. therefore the assessee can not claim exemption under sec. 10(13A). HRA received by him will, thus, get added to his salary income. He can, however, claim deduction u/s 80 C for repayment of housing loan. Regards, CA Shakuntala Chhangani
