Sec. 80ddb dedn.

Dear friends,

As per Sec. 80DDB, a flat deduction of Rs. 50,000/- is allowed irrespective of the actual expenditure incurred.

So, if there is no supporting bills, even then it is ok ?

That means anybody can claim 50,000/- deduction if he has a dependent with disability certified by the medical board ?? (even though he did not spent a single rupee for the dependent ?)

Is there any other condition ?

Please share your views..

Dear Friends,

One of our collegue was spend more than Rs.3.5 Lacs in Appolo Hospital towards his father's (Age 63) treatment and Rs.1.25 Lac reimbursed from Medical Insurance and remaining balance paid by himself to Appolo Hospital. In this case pls. clarify the following queries.

1. Can he eligible to claim Income tax exemption u/sec 80ddb

2. Can he get Form No.10 from Appllo Hospital or it should be get from Govt Hospital only.

Pls. Clarify.
