The deduction will not be more than Rs 20000/- i.e maximum is Rs 2000/ per month. Other conditions are also there.
It is advised that you should not claim it.
80GG is available only if 1. you produce Rent Receipt and a declaration in Form 10BA. 2. HRA has not been received by u from your employer. 3. There is no other self occupied house in your name. 4. Your Spouse, children, HUF should not own any house at your service place.
