Deduction will be available for treatment of specified diseases by income tax ...i.e cancer etc deduction allowed by it is actual treatment expenditure or fourty thousand rupee which ever is lesser.

Thanks for the reply but my friend i think u didnt get my question.My question is that what is the procedure that the hospital should take so that the patient can get the deduction of the expenditure incurred by them?

As per section 80DDB the hospital should be a government hospital or it should be maintained by the local authority.But our client is a Private hospital.So what is the procedure that the hospital shold undertake????????

As per Section 80DDB, the patient can ask for the deduction only if the hospital has issued 10-I Certificate.

So can The Private hospital Issue 10-I?

and if not, then what is are the guidlines that the hospital should follow to make itself eligible to issue that certificate.

In my view.

Since the section clearly specifies that the certificate has to be authorised by a doctor who works for a goverment hospital. Your client will have to arrange for a goverment doctor to certify these certificates in form 10I.
