Usually HRA forms part of your salary and you can claim deduction for HRA. If you do not receive HRA from your employer, and make payments towards rent for any furnished or unfurnished accommodation occupied by you for your own residence, you can claim deduction under section 80GG towards rent that you pay, provided you do not own any residential accommodation at the place where you currently reside and perform duties of office.
Deduction –the lowest of these will be considered as the deduction under this section-
(a) Rs 5,000 per month
(b) 25% of total Income (before making deduction under section 80GG).
(c) Actual Rent less 10% of Income
