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.
