Please clarify whether the IT rebate under section 88DD for the treatment and rehabiltation of a disable dependent (son) can be availaed by both the parents individually (both working and tax payer) or only one of them can take the rebate?
Please treat it as urgent. No guesses please, only genuine answers.
Thanks in adavance.

1) 80U is tax exemption for Tax payer and 80DD is tax exemtion for tax payers's Dependant
2) Both cannot be claimed together. i.e If Tax payer is claiming under 80U he cannot further claim under 80DD
3) For FY 14-15 40% disability - 50000 is the limit . This can be shared by both parents to extent of 25000 each and not 50000 each
4) For FY 14-15 80% disability - 100000 is the limit . This can be shared by both parents to extent of 50000 each and not 100000 each
5) for FY 15-16 above figures are 75000 and 125000
