House rent allowance

176 views 3 replies
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

Are you getting any HRA from your employer along with salary?

No HRA...But they are deducting RS 500 as accommodation charges

Well, you cannot take HRA benefit available u/s. 10 (13A) of the Income Tax Act, but may take advantage of section 80GG of upto 5,000/- PM; provided satisfy its conditions.
