I work in a University located in Alwar, Rajasthan. I live alone in University provided room for which University charges me monthly rent. My home town is Jaipur, where I have recently purchased a Flat on loan. The flat is occupied by my wife.
My University does not pay me House Rent and pays me a consolidated remuneration. However it charges a monthly house rent of Rs. 3500. Can I claim deduction of Rs. 2000 per month u/s 80gg as well as that of Home loan on flat in Jaipur?
