I got a chronic renal failure and got the transplant from a private hospital in 2005. After that every month I have to spend Rs 12000 for the the medicines (life saving drugs taken after the organ transplant). Can I claim an exemption under 80DDB based on these. If yes, then from where do I need to make a certificate. Thanks.

Dear Nisha...

80DDB - Expenditure incurred inrespect of medical treatment of specified diseases(it covers Chronic Renal failure) by resident for himself or wholly/mainly dependent husband/wife/children,parents,brothers and sisters of the assessee or if the resident assessee is a HUF, for any member of the family who is wholly/mainly dependent upon the family....
