Mr. X is suffering from hearing loss of more than 80%, so to claim deduction under Section 80U of income tax act,

there is requirement of FORM 80-IA{sub rule(2) of rule 11A}. My query is that whether the FORM 80-IA can be issued by any hospital or medical practitioner or only by the Government hospitals.

To claim a tax deduction u/s 80U you must mandatorily obtain a certificate. The medical authority for certifying is:

  1. A Neurologist having a degree of Doctor of Medicine (MD) in Neurology (in case of children, a Paediatric Neurologist having an equivalent degree)
  2. A Civil Surgeon or Chief Medical Officer in a Government hospital

Sir, in certificate it is written in name "address of institution/govt hospital" here institution may be private institution, please clarify 

Yes, if the surgeon has certified it on the organization's letter head.
