On the Basic of facts given by you ,you are eligible to for deduction of40000 only.Enhanced Limit of 60000 is available if dependent /patient is senior citizen (attain age 65 in previous year ) not assesse who is is claiming the deduction.in your case your age is 66 ,However your wife's age is just 60 ,so you are eligible for only 40000 deduction or expenses incurred which ever is less.

Moreover the above said amount will be reduced by the amount reimbursed by employer/Insurance company .In your case this is nil.so you will get 40000 or expenses incurred ,which ever is less as deduction u/s 80DDB of the Income Tax Act.
