Hii. In case if he is doing work from home, suggest him to use Rent of Mumbai or Kerala, whichever is higher. Probably Mumbai's should be higher as he is Sharing kerala's rent with his friends. I know for HRA, rent of property where we stay only claimable. This isn't exactly as per books but if saving tax is priority, it works
