06 July 2013 I am the main wage earner of the family. My mother is totally BLIND and I am looking after/taking care/bearing her medical expenses and her maintenance. But my mother is also getting some Pension which not sufficient for herself.
In the circumstances can I claim expenses for her medical expenses and her maintenance? I think under section 80D or 80DD or 80DDB. If yes, then to what extent the expenses can be claimed?
