24 May 2021 1) I think he might be able to avail deduction as such illness can be regarded as mental illness as per Person with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995, though am not sure.
2) Up to 40% disability, ₹75k and >=80% disability, ₹1.25 lacs
3) A doctor's certificate would be necessary in form 10IA
