01 December 2009 Yes you can claim both

01 December 2009 Yes, u can claim both HRA and Home Loan deduction at same time. HRA is independent of Home Loan and both are governed by separate sections under IT Act.

01 December 2009 Agree

02 December 2009 Hi, U/s 10(13A) and Rule 2A, HRA is exempt to the extent of least of following three :
a) 40% or 50% of salary as the case may be
b) HRA received
c) Excess of rent paid over 10% of salary.
It is evident from above Q that employee owns a house property therefore there is no Q of rent payment hence option c (NIL) being the lowest, no exemption will be available for HRA. Yes, the assessee can claim deduction u/s 24(b) and sec. 80C. Regards, CA Shakuntala Chhangani
