Yes you can claim rent for both the property, you need to produce rent receipt & Agreement for both the premises.

Thanks!!

16 April 2015 Thanks Sir. My salary processing person is not accepting two rent receipts for two properties. According to him, rent for only one house property can be considered for HRA Exemption. It would be helpful for me if you can give some reference/case law so that I can show and can take the benefit.
Rgds,
Ramesh
