Sir, I have TWO Physically handicapped dependants.
Section 80DD says Rs 50,000/- deduction in Total income eligible on a PH dependant.
May I able to Use section 80DD on both of PH dependants to get deduction of One lakh? (I mean Rs fifty thousand on each dependant)
My office people are agreeing only for one dependant and they are giving deduction of 50,000 only. Please help me in getting deduction on my second dependant also. In section 80DD it is written as
"A dependant deduction of Rs.50,000/-"
It means the word "A dependant" indicates "I am able to take on every dependant" But my office people are not agreeing this. I have asked in the income tax department also and I got only neglect answer. Kindly do justification for me.
Plese sednd reply Thanking you Yours faithfully Narayan
