HRA under Section 80GG

Dear Pankaj, I am pensioner of AP state Govt and need your advice on claiming HRA benefit. I was told that an exemption of 2000/- month can be claimed even though there is no specific HRA component in the pension I am receiving. Is this benefit still in force? Please advice.
