20 September 2021 As such there is no limit specified, because the maximum deduction P.M. is only Rs. 5,000/- subject to the following conditions.

Quantum of deduction shall be the least of the following:
a. Actual Rent paid minus 10 percent the adjusted total income.
b. 5,000/- per month.
c. 25% of Adjusted Total Income.
