25 December 2021Can I claim deductions under 80GG for rent paid ?
Total rent paid for FY2021-22 comes around Rs 70,000 and 10% of adjusted total income comes around Rs 90000
can I claim deductions under 80GG ?
Also can a person without job ( unemployed) can claim deductions under 80GG ?
Please clarify.
Thanks

Thanks Aakarsh Jain for your prompt reply. My annual rent amount is 70K , so I can claim deductions of Rs 60K , right ?

YES YOU MAY CLAIM 60K U/S 80GG , PROVIDED THAT YOU ARE NOT RECEIVING HRA FROM YOUR EMPLOYER (if you are a salaried person)
A PERSON IS UNEMPLOYED - AND HE HAS NO INCOME CAN FILE NIL RETURNS VOLUNTARILY
TO CLAIM DEDUCTION THERE SHOULD BE INCOME FROM WHICH IT WILL BE DEDUCTED , AND IF HE HAS NO INCOME HOW HE IS PAYING RENT ?

Hi Saiish,
There is income from interest earned from bank savings/FD. I am paying rent from the interest amount earned.
In my case how much 80GG deductions can I claim ? Thanks
