Hi, I want to know if my father is going through treatment for Parkinson, what kind of expenditures would be covered for exemption under the section. We have been paying a huge sum to a physiotherapist, whether these charges are covered too for exemption. Thanks in Advance

You can claim Rs.40000/- or Rs.60000/-(For senior citizen) u/s 80DDB.If you fulfill below 2 conditions. 1. If you are already receiving any reimbursement for the treatment from your insurance company or employer, deductions cannot be claimed. If you are receiving partial reimbursement, the balance amount can be used for a deduction. 2. A certificate would be required from a specialist working in a government hospital, as proof for the specified ailment.
