If you or a dependent undergoes medical treatment for diseases like cancer, kidney failure, thalassaemia, etc you can get income tax deduction for the amount you have spent for the treatment. Section 80DDB deals with this.
You can submit the required certificate to your HR in the relevant year to get this deduction on salary TDS or if you miss it you can still put this amount in cell for 80DDB under Chapter VI-A deductions in ITR form in the section Income & Deductions.
Though certificate is not required to be attached with ITR form you should keep it you for record sake. Your taxable income reduces by the amount you claim as 80ddb deduction.
