According to Income Tax Act, Employee is not entitled for HRA exemption if accomdation is provided to employee from its employer.......

Meanwhile you can claim deduction for Rent paid for your family under section 80GG but as regards to exemption under HRA. Unfortunately it is 100% taxable in your case......
