Dear Team,

Pls guide on the following scenario:

My mother in law is handicapped (disability certified) and I pay premium amounting 10,000 Rs. per annum for her medical insurance.

Can I claim deduction U/S 80U or 80D for this expense?

Thanks

HELLO, FRIEND.

FIRST OF ALL VERY NICE QUESTION

TO MY BEST KNOWLEDGE, MOTHER IN LAW NOT COMES IN THE DEFINATION OF PARENTS AS PER SECTION 80D , (NO DEDUCTION WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR YOU ON MAKING PAYMENT OF INSURANCE AMOUNT )

AND SECTION 80U IS FOR HANDICAPPED INDIVIDUALY, you cant claim deduction on the behalf of handicapped by making payment.

THANKS

SHIKHAR
