Expenditure incurred on vertebral surgery for a dependent mother is allowed under 80D or 80DDB. The mother is covered by health insurance only for part of the total surgery expense and the remaining is incurred by the assessee on behalf of his mother. Can we claim deduction under Section 80D for the rest of the amount paid by assessee.

Thanks

For medical expenditure of sevior disease deduction is allowed under section 80ddb for the medical expenditure incurred for dependents..

here is the some important part of section..

Deduction under section 80DDB is allowed for medical treatment of a dependant who is suffering from a specified disease ( if disease is covered under the section).

a. Can be claimed by an Individual or HUF

b. Allowed to Resident Indians

c. When taxpayer has spent money on treatment of the dependant

d. Dependant shall mean spouse, children, parents and siblings

e. In case the dependant is insured and some payment is also received from an insurer or reimbursed from an employer, such insurance or reimbursement received shall be subtracted from the deduction.

so as per the section you can claim deduction under section 80ddb for the medical expenditure incurred for your senior citizen mother up to rupees 100000.
