Claim HRA, home loan relief if working in different cities

-Saurabh Kumar

Yes, you can claim both House Rent Allowance (HRA) exemption and tax deduction on home loan interest, provided the flat you purchased is not in the city where you are currently residing and working, and you are currently residing in a rented house in the city of your work.

● My wife sold her flat this year in March for ₹1 crore and bought another flat worth ₹1.5 crore in May. As the sale and purchase fall in two financial years, how should she file her returns?
