03 March 2014 if you are not in receipt of HRA from your employer, you can claim deduction for rent paid under 80GG. it would be advisable to have a proper rent agreement, rent receipts as proof of rental arrangement. you dont have to file any declaration with the income tax office.

however, if your case is picked up for scrutiny, you can be asked to submit required proofs.
