The deduction allowed is Rs. 50,000 / Rs. 75,000 depending on the extent of the disability of your dependent.
A deduction of Rs. 50,000 is allowed if you have a disabled dependent. Whereas a deduction of Rs. 75,000 is allowed if your dependent has severe disability.
Remember: this is a lump-sum deduction, and doesn’t depend on the amount that you spend on the disabled dependent.
The income tax that you can save would depend on the tax bracket that you fall into – it can range from Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 15,000 (for Rs. 50,000 deduction) or from Rs. 7,500 to Rs. 22,500 (for Rs. 75,000 deduction).
