Maximum Allowable Limit is Rs.24000 U/s 80GG
Eligibility for 80GG tax rebate
If you are a salaried individual, a self employed person or an HUF you can get deduction under section 80GG on the rent you pay if you satisfy the following conditions:
- More than 10% of your annual income is spent on rent.
- Neither you nor your spouse or a minor child owns a house at the place where you are ordinarily residing.
- If you own a house at any other place you have not been claiming tax concession on income from that house (making annual value of it nil for computing income from house property).
You would have to submit a declaration in form 10BA and enter amount while filing Income Tax Returns in order to claim this tax deduction.
