Sir,
You have to fulfill following conditions.
Amount of deduction
- Amount actually paid or Rs. 40000 whichever is less.
- amount actually paid or Rs. 60000 whichever is less.(In case the amount is paid in respect of the assessee, or a person dependent on him, who is a senior citizen(exceeding 65 year of age).
Conditions:
- The deduction allowable shall be reduced by the amount or insurance cover for medical treatment, if any received.
- The assessee shall furnish a certificate in form 10-I (download) from neurologist, oncologist such other specialist, as may be prescribed, working in a Government hospital.
- The specified diseases are as follows.
(i) Neurological Diseases where the disability level has been certified to be of 40% and above,—
(a) Dementia ;
(b) Dystonia Musculorum Deformans ;
(c) Motor Neuron Disease ;
(d) Ataxia ;
(e) Chorea ;

(iii) Full Blown Acquired Immuno-Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) ;

I don't think this disease is specified by CBDT u/s 80DDB. Hence, you can not get deduction.
