24 March 2011 I have a house in my name. But that house has been occupied by an unlawful occupant. A Suit has been filed by me for recovery of possession.

Now, I am residing in my mother's house and paying her Rs. 2000 per month as rent.

Whether I can claim Deduction for Rs. 24000 under Section 80GG ?

24 March 2011 Following are the condtions for claiming deduction
Conditions

• Assessee should not be in receipts of HRA.
• The assessee or his spouse or minor child or the H UF in which he is a member should not own any residential accommodation at other place
• No claim in respect of self occupied property is made in respect of any accommodation.
• Assessee must file a declaration in form 10 BA wherein he confirms the details of rent paid and fulfilment of any other conditions.

In my opinion , you cannot claim in the deduction since you are violated one of the condition
