Dear members,

I am a professor in one of the management institutes. I had hired a research assistant for about 6 months with a salary of Rs 15000 pm for a research work. Is it possible to claim tax benefit on this amount while filing my individual tax return?

If yes how? Please help.

Thanks,

Ravi
