Asking on behalf of a friend 

"Due to certain issues I has to take on rent a house which has a monthly rent of 21000....
My monthly salary is just 28000.....Is this allowed....I was told that the IT department will take action as I am paying more rent than what is allowed based on what salary Iam receiving....Meaning around 10% of salary can go as expense for House rent....If it's more the IT department will call you for scrutiny since your living an expensive lifestyle?"

This is utter nonsense.
If you are able to afford such costly house rent , zaroor you must be having second source of income. The problem will arise when the IT dept feels that you have suppressed such income and evaded the tax.
@ V.Raghunadh Extremely Sorry Sir....It was a typo....The friend has a salary of 48000 per month......I had written 28000 by mistake...
