10 July 2012 Any individual can claim the deduction u/s 80GG. Irrespective of whether you are a salaried individual, or a business person, you can claim deduction under Sec 80GG.

Of course, you need to be paying rent, and for your own accommodation.

Thus, if you are paying rent for a house where your parents live, you can not claim deduction u/s 80GG. Similarly, if you are staying in a house but your spouse is paying the rent, you can not claim any deduction.In other words, Deduction is available to Individual Assessee only.Both are not eligible to claim deduction under this case.
