The assessee will not get deduction as his father is a non - resident as per the Explanation given for very senior citizen in Section 80D for F.Y.2017-18

Saw the Solution given by ICAI,from that I think its being said that the extra benefit of 5000 which a resident senior citizen is getting will not be there for non resident senior citizen.
