Can I claim HRA tax exemption and deduction on home loan interest as well at the same time?

Yes, Reshma, you can claim both HRA and home loan interest deductions under specific conditions:
If you have a house loan and live in a rented home in a different city.
If you rent a home in the same city for genuine reasons, like your child’s education.
If you have a home loan for an under-construction property and live in a rented home; you can claim the home loan interest deduction after construction.
If you rent out your own house and live in a different rented accommodation.
All these scenarios allow both claims.
