Dear Pradeep,

Thank you for the detailed explaination. Was very helpful.

Always welcome sir.

One more question: My Father is still alive. So, SHould this be claimed by my father only (or) either myself or my father can claim this?

Section 80DDB :
a). Assessee is an  individual - amount paid for himself and his dependants can be claimed.

Dependants means his spouse , children , parents, brothers and sisters or any of them.
Hence
1). if paid by you - only you can claim for payment for the treatment of your mother.

2). if paid by your father  - only he can claim for payment for  the treatment of your mother as his spouse.
