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
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.
