Sir / Madam
 
Section 80DDB allows a deduction of Rs.40000/- towards medical expenses on specific diseases subject to the conditions specified therein which includes Hematological disorders.
 
A close relative of mine is suffering from this disorder and expenses to the tune of over Rs.1.0 Lakh per annum are incurred towards the same.
 
QUERY
Whether BOTH the Parents Can Claim Deduction of Rs.40K each SEPARATELY in their respective IT Returns?
 
Look forward to receive your clarifications in the matter.
 
Warm Regards
Jitendra
