Quick Summary
If you let out one floor of your two-storey home to your son, you must declare this as rental income in your Income Tax Return (ITR) under 'income from house property'. You can claim property taxes and a standard deduction. Your son can claim House Rent Allowance (HRA) using rent receipts and the agreement, or deductibility under Section 80GG if not employed. As a formal rental agreement exists, the arrangement is treated as landlord-tenant, not a gift, making the rent taxable income for you and eligible for deductions for your son.

Yes you show let house
You treat 2houses self occupied
Is you and your son are in any rental agreement
Yes

You need to show rental income in ITR under income from house property

yes, agreement was made.

1.parents  will show the income under the head income from house property and can claim property taxes as well as standard deduction from the rental income 

2. Son will claim hra by giving rent receipts and showing the agreement to his hr ..... Or if not job then by 80GG

Yes it will be someone as a rental income in your income tax return
Reciept of rent could be considered as GIFT and it will not be taxable as IFOS as same is recieved from relative. provided both floors is used as one property i.e. they are joined to each other

As both enter in rent agreement not gift deed or gift agreement  they  both can claim Deduction and cannot be Termed as relative rather than landlord and tenant 

The portion in which the son is staying shall be shown as let-out and rent received from the son shall be shown as Income from House Property and standard deduction at the rate of 30% u/s 24 can be claimed.
