hi friend,

Section 80GG. Deductions in respect of rent paid
In computing the total income, an assessee is allowed deduction of any expenditure incurred by him in excess of ten per cent of his total income towards payment of rent for any furnished or unfurnished accommodation for his own residence, such deduction is limited two thousand rupees per month or twenty-five per cent of his total income for the year, whichever is less, if the assessee meets the folowing conditions:

1. Assessee is self employed and/or a salaried person who did not get any house rent allowance in the previous year.
2. This deduction is not available in any case where any residential accommodation is—
(i) owned by the assessee or by his spouse or minor child or, where such assessee is a member of a Hindu undivided family, by such family at the place where he ordinarily resides or performs duties of his office or employment or carries on his business or profession; or
(ii) owned by the assessee at any other place, being accommodation in the occupation of the assessee, for which concession for self occupied property is claimed under section 23(2)(a) or 23(4)(a).

Thanks & Regards

assessee or his spuse or child should not own any house in \the area of employement ...

if he owns a house, and stays in another house paying rent, he cannot claim deduction...
