15 March 2011 Dear Sir,
If I am in receipt of reimbursement of rent from my employer and not HRA. The house rent agreement is entered in my own name. The rent paid is Rs.10000. however, the reimbursement is Rs.6600/-.
will i be able to claim excess of rs.3400 paid u/s 80GG? if yes how much amount?

by plain reading of section 80 gg only when HRA is not received, 80gg can be claimed.

15 March 2011 Whether Rs 6600/ is being addedd in your taxable salary income?

If No. Then it is nothing but HRA.
If Yes. the looking towards the restrictive nature of Section 80GG, it is not advisable
to claim any deduction under this section.
