Dear Bala,

Employee may claim both the interest on housing Loan and HRA Exemption for rental payments if he is not occupied his Own House due to his employment in different Place(but not within the city in which the own house located).

You may give the following self declaration to your employer to claim your housing loan interest upto maximum of Rs.1,50,000/-(Under the same provision as Self Occupied)
