you can avail tax deduction for payment of rent subject to certain conditions. Firstly, your rent payment for the accommodation should be more than 10% of your income. Secondly, no one in your family— including you, your wife and minor children—should own a house in the city where you are living. Thirdly, you should not be receiving HRA from your employer.
