27 November 2009 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,
