Tax exemption under sec 80dd


This query is : Resolved 

05 July 2012 Hi All,
One of my dependent suffers from Hearing loss for which there is deduction under 80DD. I was not aware of this till now and could not claim, even though the hearing loss exists from almost 5 years.

My 2 questions
1. Now I am yet to file the IT returns for FY 2011-12 (AY 2012-13), if I get a medical certificate now, will I be able to claim for refund for FY 2011-12, as the medical certificate will have date after 31st March 2011?

2. 80DD states that deduction of 50,000 for disability 40-80% and 1 Lakh for disability >80%. Is this a flat deduction or limited to the amount we spend on the treatment of the dependent?

Thank you for help.

What is the procedure to claim refund? Do I just need to mention deduction while filing returns or do I have to show the certificate to some one?
