can an retired individual take benefit of 80GG deduction if a new house is own by him under construction in same city where he resides in rented house. thnx in advance for reply my query
one of the condition of this section is you are a salaried or a self-employed person not getting HRA and not having house at the place of work now a retired person is not a salaried person and not also a self employed... so which is your place of work in this case.
rohit thnx for reply but I agree with ur points but few queries are there 1 a retired person earns other sources income so U can consider them self employed person 2 if he is not a owner of other residential accommodation any other place then likewise stated in 10BA then he can take benefit of 80gg
I think this section is eligible only when you ordinary resides at place...means you are not a permanent residents of that place/town. the reson of resides should be and duties for salaried person and a place of business in case of self employed person... the word which I highlight in this Section is ORDINARY RESIDES..
