My father has been getting treatment of Parkinson disease. I have spent about Rs. 60000/- to pay medical bills. My father is an retired govt employee having pension & FD interest as income. Now my question is that whether he can claim the above medical expenses u/s 80ddb in his IT return which is actually paid by me?

80DDB deduction allowed for dependents Individuals: In case of an individual, the medical expense can be incurred on the medical treatment of the assessee or any of his dependents. The ‘dependents’ in respect of this section would include spouse, his children, his parents, brothers and sisters of the individual or any of them. The dependent as the world suggests should be ‘dependent on the individual’ for his or her maintenance and support. If you have paid you can claim but your father is not dependent to you, he is having his own source of income.
