I can tell you about the second point. S80U is for the taxpayer himself, and
s80DD is for his dependent. Expenses for the taxpayer himself will not be
elegible for benefit u/s80d as he is already covered u/s80U.
Af regards the first point, documented expenses such as bills etc should be
accepted.
With best regards,

Tax Relief To Family Members of Differently Abled
hello,
first of all, thank you so much for this info.
just a couple of clarifications required:
1. with respect to the point 1st, what kind of proofs would be
required? The point is broad enough to include a lot of expenses,
which can't be substantiated with evidences in all cases.
2. is this deduction in addition to the deduction available under section
80U?
Thanks and Regards

Section 80DD of the Income Tax Act, 1961, inter alia, provides for a
deduction to an individual or HUF, who is a resident in India, and
* Incurs expenditure for the medical treatment (including nursing),
training and rehabilitation of a dependant, being a person with
disability;
or
* Pays any amount to LIC or any other insurer in respect of a scheme for
the maintenance of a disabled dependant.
The section provides for a deduction of fifty thousand rupees if the
dependant is suffering from disability and one hundred thousand rupees if
the dependant is suffering from severe disability.
"Dependant" in the case of an individual, has been defined to mean the
spouse, children, parents, brothers and sisters of the individual or any
of
them, and in the case of a Hindu undivided family, a member of the Hindu
undivided family, if such person is dependant wholly or mainly on such
individual or Hindu undivided family for his support and maintenance.
In view of the rising cost of medical care and special needs of a
differently abled person, Finance Bill, 2015
<http://indiabudget.nic.in/ub2015-16/fb/bill.pdf> proposes to amend
section
80DD of the Income-tax Act so as to raise the limit of deduction in
respect
of a person with disability from fifty thousand rupees to seventy five
thousand rupees and in respect of a person with severe disability, from
one
hundred thousand rupees to one hundred and twenty five thousand rupees.
This was stated by Shri Jayant Sinha, Minister of State in Ministry of
Finance in written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha today.
