Hi I am allotted with a bachelor room by my employer for which employer is paying Rs 3500. He is deducting Rs 500 per month as accommodation charges. At the same time I am paying rent for a house which is almost 10 kms away from my office where my family is staying at Rs 7000/month . Can I claim deduction for this rent paid. My payslip shows deduction of accommodation charges of Rs 500
