Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the distinction between Section 80GG and Section 24(b) of the Income Tax Act regarding rental income and property deductions. While Section 24(b) allows deductions for interest on home loans for both self-occupied and rented properties (even if under construction, with interest accumulating), Section 80GG allows deductions for rent paid when you don't own a property at your place of duty. It's confirmed that you can claim 80GG for rent paid even if your own property is under construction, provided it's not at your place of work.

If assessee is owner of property, he can claim sec. 24(b) deduction, be it rented or self owned.

But the same assessee cannot claim sec. 80GG deduction.

Sir the property is under construction and it is not located in his place of duty and untill it’s whole completion made rental payments can be claimed 80GG?

Yes, he can claim deduction u/s. 80GG.

For under construction property, the interest cannot be claimed till its completion, but it is accumulated. The accumulated amount can be claimed in 5 equal installments, after getting possession of the flat.
