01 February 2011 An employee is paying a rent of Rs.144000/- annually for the residence of his family at a place other than his place of posting. How much deduction can be allowed to him from the income tax point of view. Under Section 80GG a max of Rs.2000/- per month is allowed. Is there any other section where deduction can be allowed. Pl reply.
