Normal disability refers to not less than 40% disability and severe disability means 80% or more disability. This has to be certified by a medical authority and deduction can be claimed accordingly. If certified as normal disability, then deduction of Rs.75,000 and in case of severe disability, deduction will be Rs.1,25,000.
