06 February 2013Hello All,
Can i take both benefits i.e. HRA Exemptions & Dedcution of Home Loan Interest simultaneously??
If yes, on what basis?? Please look into below my query.
if both the places i.e. rented house and owned house are in same place/colony but different house number. So, can i avail both things i.e. deduction for interest & HRA expemtions?? Kindly reply
Best Regards,
Piyush Goel
the tax benefits for home loan and HRA are two separate entities and have no direct bearing on each other. As long as you are paying rent for an accommodation, you can claim tax benefits on the HRA component of your salary, while also availing tax benefits on your home loan. This could be the case if your own home is rented out or you work from another city etc. However, you need to account for any rental income you receive from the property you own under income from other sources.
