Quick Summary
If you're a salaried individual paying rent but not receiving House Rent Allowance (HRA) from your employer, you may still be able to claim a deduction. Section 80GG of the Income Tax Act allows for rent deductions under specific conditions. You'll need to provide rent receipts and a declaration to your employer to avail this benefit.

Yes do you receive house rent allowance from your employer?
Are you getting House rent Allowance ?.
No..he is not permanent employee..he is getting salary in whole without any bifurcation

You Can claim deduction under section 80GG with certain conditions, because he is not getting HRA . Also he has to give declaration.
