16 February 2013 Yes he is eligible since he is living in a rented house whether of Wife or any body's
Since the house is in the name of Wife and the wife is also separately showing the rent income in her ITR Also the other house rent income is being shown by the employee in his ITR therefore the same is in accordance with the provision of Income Tax.

Also have other expert opinion
