Hello,

I just got a telephone call from a member at Jhansi. I copied the text I 
got in the Ministry's web site. I also heard that the limit for 80DD was 
raised to Rs. 1,00,000. I myself was confused.


Anyway, I was requested to clarify that s80U is for handicapped taxpayers 
and s80DD is for handicapped dependents of taxpayers.


I am sorry that I confused many of our friends.

I believe S80DD lays down exemptions for disabled dependent, and if it is 
so, the amount was already raised to one lakh rupees for severely disabled 
dependent,  without corresponding raise in s80U and agitation was required 
to achieve it.
