Dear Mr Batra, Kindly let me know what exemption is available on House Rent paid. Does it fall within the Sec 80 C limit of Rs 1,00,000.00 Thanks Col Ashok Koul

House rent exemption does not fall under section 80C. In case assessee is salaried and his salary structure has HRA component, employer would provide HRA exemption u/s 10 on showing rent receipts.
If assessee is not salaried or does not have HRA as salary component, he can still claim deduction for house rent paid u/s 80GG.
