Dear friends,

As per Sec. 80DDB, a flat deduction of Rs. 50,000/- is allowed irrespective of the actual expenditure incurred.

So, if there is no supporting bills, even then it is ok ?

That means anybody can claim 50,000/- deduction if he has a dependent with disability certified by the medical board ?? (even though he did not spent a single rupee for the dependent ?)

Is there any other condition ?

Please share your views..

Section 80 DDB:- Deduction of Rs. 40,000/- in respect of medical expenditure actually paid. Further, where the expenditure is incurred in respect of Assessee or independent who is senior citizen a deduction of Rs. 60,000/- or the amount actually paid whichever is less will be available.

Expenditure must be actually incurred by resident assessee on himself or dependent relative for medical treatment of specified decease or ailment. The dicease have been specified in Rule 11DD. A certificate in form 10I is to be furnished by the assessee from any Registered Doctor.
