1. Yes for amount spent on his treatment or medical insurance premium.

2.  You will require supporting bills of treatment & nursing for the claim

3. Medical certificate from Neurologist in prescribe form is required for claim u/s. 80DD. [as per rule 11A] produced as below....

Thanks for your time and response towards my query but for nursing what kind of supporting bill i can attach as there is no medical expense could you pls guide me on this, and in various sites i read that for nursing no receipt is required.....

Most important is certificate of the specialist. Once the disability is certified, the bill for nursing are not that important, and hence that part is ignored. But under scrutiny such details are asked for, so any such evidences like salary paid to nurse/helper or fees paid to any professional for its day to day care or check-up etc.... does help. 

Now you are not required to attach any such documents alongwith ITR, but to keep in records for producing the same whenever asked for.

very grateful for your prompt response,
a last question i want to add in the same query it is good and helpful for me if you respond
as far as nursing is concerned my parents is taking care him and no outside person involve for nursing and monthly transaction is there towards my parents through online as i already told parents has no income in persent..
so for scrutiny it is ok...

In any case it should be justifiable as nursing expenditures....

ok thank you so much.....have a nice day

Most Welcome .......
