Section 80GG Deduction for Rent Paid

Don’t you  receive  HRA from your employer

Typically, HRA is part of your salary and you can claim a discount for HRA. If you do not receive an HRA from your employer and make payments for rent for any furnished or unfurnished accommodation you occupy for your stay, you can claim a deduction under Section 80GG for the rent you pay. Here are some of the conditions that must be met –

  • You are self-employed or salaried
  • You did not receive HRA at any time during the year you claim 80GG
  • You, your spouse or your minor child in which you are a member do not have any residential housing in the place where you currently reside or perform office duties, work, work or occupation.
  • If you own any residential property anywhere, your income is calculated from the home within the applicable divisions (as a self-owned enterprise), no deduction is allowed under section 80GG.

You will be asked to submit a 10BA form with details of the rent payment.
