No, As per provision of Income tax Act, If you are living in Self occupied property (Not rented house), than you can not claim HRA exemption.

As per IT act you cannot claim HRA if you live in self occupied own house. But most of the employees in my area claim that in their return. when we say its against the they file their returns themselves.
