25 January 2013 An individual can claim both “Exemption of HRA {(Sec 10 (13A) see rule 2A} and Deduction of Interest paid on Housing Loan u/s 24b as per Income Tax Act 1961 together.

There is no hard and fast rule to deny this. But an assess should satisfy the basic terms and condition for the same.

In your case their is relation of Mother and Son between owner and tanent but even this can not deny the exemption. Owner have to show rental income against such receipt.

Above answer is based on differnct articles as i read and i require more reply in this regard.
