Thanks for quick response. Only doubt, If I got possesion but not staying in it also not letting it out on rent. Can I claim HRA for rent I am paying for my staying for this whole FY?

Hi, 1 & 2 - Yes, you can submit the loan ac statments and also the Possession certificate. 3 - I dont think utility bills are require.. 4 - Yes, HRA till the date of possession can be claimed (if you are occupying the property in this FY). If you are renting it out, then HRA for full year can be claimed. 7 - Yes, your understanding is correct.

Hi, Yes, you can claim HRA for the whole FY. But, in case, you claim tax benefits on home loan of the property, you can declare it as 'let out property kept vacant'. The rental income is NIL.   Kindly read : https://www.relakhs.com/understanding-tax-implications-of-income-from-house-property/
