Dear Rajababu,I underwent a Kidney growth operation,In a private Hospital in March 1911.I am a Senior citizen,age being 74.The cost of operation for removal was 2.55Lakhs.Half Kidney was removed.The growth was found to be malignent.I had mediclaim but only could get 1.66Lakhs.Can I get a deduction for the balance?Since it is private hospital is it necessary it should be counter signed by Govt hospital Doctor.Kindly reply
ReplyDeleteMaximum deduction available to you is 60000 minus claim given to you by employer/insurance company. As the claim given by insurance company is more than 60000(1.66 Lakh),so nothing can be claimed as deduction u/s 80DDB
DeleteActually my question falls under the same category but I got completely confused. Last month my wife aged 30 had gone through Laparoscopy Pyeloplasty Kidney surgery
Delete( Cost's around 1,80,000 Rupees) which falls under Chronic Renal Failure. I have submitted all the medical bills to Medical Insurance Dept and hopefully I would get around 80% of the total expense which will be around 1,40,000 Rupees. Can I submit the balance 40,000 Rs under Section 80 DDB as tax exemption. Awaiting for your reply.Please kindly revert back on the same...
No deduction is available to you as explained above deduction amount is 40000-(minus)amount reimbursed by employer or insurance company .In your case reimbursement is more than 40000 so no deduction is available to you.

Dear JOji,
DeleteMethod to calculate 80DDB is
1. calculate Total exp subject to maximum 40000/60000
2 subtract claim received from insurance company or employer from amount as per one.
In your case if amount reimbursed by insurance company is more than 40000/60000 then you will eligible for nothing.
However if this is not the case then you should get certificate form Govt hospital /dispensary or approved hospital to treat govt employee

Iam paying every month 10000rs(from aug 2012 to till) for my husband tablets for medical treatment.(spent around 60000 at the time of treatment)
so shall i claim this amt?
i didnt wrk from apr 2012 to march 12th of 2013.but i had paid 2011 aug to mar 2012 tax and march 2013 to till iam paying tax.
Is iam eligible for above claim
If iam eligible is it necessary to take certificate from government doctor, because we are under taking treatment in private hospital.
please reply me ASAP.
If your husband is mainly and wholly depended on you then yyou can claim deduction of Rs 40000/- (if assume age is less than 60 years)
DeleteDear Raja Babu,
ReplyDeleteMy father has had a pelvis fracture operation in 2009. I have not claimed any deduction under 80DD till now though he is bed-ridden since the operation and there have been substantial medical expenses.
The reason is that I did not know about this deduction:
I am claiming 80DD on account of Locomotor disability:
1. Can a qualified MD doctor (who had done the surgery) issue the certificate? Or do I need to get a certificate from a Government Medical Doctor only?
2. Can I claim for the past years as well (i.e. from 2009 - 2012). If yes how can I do this? Note that I have already filed my returns for the years 2009-2012.
Thanks,
1.Only Govt doctor can issue required certificate .
Delete2. You can only revise return for fy 2011-12 upto 31.03.14 subject to that it should not be processed.
hi sir,
ReplyDeleteMy question is can we claim deduction u/s 80ddb for the expenses incurred on medical treatment and treatment is so done from local dispensary or clinic?
Yes, treatment can be taken from any hospital but certificate must be taken from govt hospital

DeleteCan I claim both the deductions under section 80DD(1,00,000 for seviere disablity) and 80DDB (40,000 for medical expenses) together?

ReplyDeleteAijaz Ahmad

Deletesir,
ReplyDeleteGeneral confussion still remain with 80 ddb section, that whether the DDO can allow this section ? off course, I noted your terms "This deduction can not be allowed by DDO(employer) while calculating the TDS amount .So assessee have to apply for claim this deduction while filing his return in Income tax tax department."
But while referring Income tax books, this limitation has not noticed.
Will you please show me the authorised site/link quoting this limitation
babu kerala thrissur
Yes ,There is confusion ,You may letter issued to DDO by income tax department https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5-nJh9LQ2cVaGdiNm9jSVg2b28/edit

ReplyDeleteMy mother is undergoing treatment for cancer. I got form 10-I signed from govt. doctor last year when I claimed deduction under 80DDB last year. Can you please advice whether I need a fresh form 10-I if I want to claim deduction under 80DDB this year also (I have original medical bills for this year) or I can use last financial year’s 10-I form to claim under 80DDB this year?
Thank you
in our opinion you have to take fresh certificate as certificate it self mentioned the previous year

Dear Sir,
ReplyDeleteMy Father is undergoing treatment for colon cancer. we are claiming the expenses through insurance, but not the whole amount spend is recovered through insurance. we have to bear 20% of the claim as co payment. Now that we have spend more than 5 lacs this year and insurance company reimbursed only3.7 (approx), can I claim the difference amount under 80DDB? If yes, I don't bear the original bills, now how to proceed on this? Thanks in advance
Regards
Siva
Unfortunately you can not claimed the deduction from remaining amount .
DeleteMaximum deduction allowed under the act is as under
step one: Actual exp. subject to maximum 40000/60000
Step two : Ans as per one above - reimbursement by insurance /employer
in you case answer in step two is negative ,so you can not claim deduction under this secyion

ReplyDeleteSir,
ReplyDeleteMy friend named Thirumurugan is 100% visually impaired and is a government employee i.e teacher in Tamil Nadu Govt. School. He claims tax exemption benefits whatever eligible to him under 80U. His wife is also 100% visually impaired and she is a home maker. Can he claim income tax exemption under 80DD for Rs.75000/- for his wife also? Treasury officials refuse this claim under the pretext that either he or his wife alone can claim exemption and they add that only one person is eligible for tax exemption. Please clarify, respected members
Your friend is eligible for both section 80U (for his disability) and 80DD (for her wife disability).There in no restriction under income tax act.
DeleteTreasury office has mis interpreted the law. As per section 80DD ,your friend can claim deduction for her wife disability ,if she(her wife) has not claimed 80U in her return. As you have said that her wife is home maker . So your friend is eligible to claim both the deductions .
Further amount under 80DD for 100 % disability is 100000 not 75000/-

ReplyDeleteI have undergone Bone Marrow Transplantation because of Multiple Myloma. My total expenses are about Rs.4 lakhs & Mediclaim available is about Rs. 3 lakhs. Can I claim the tax rebate under section 80 DDB for medical expenses.
Regards,
Rajesh Mehta
This is with reference to above mentioned querry.Multiple Myloma is one type of Blood cancer.
ReplyDeleteMaximum amount allowed under this section is
Delete=Minimum (actual exp or 40000) minus reimbursement by employer/insurer
In your case equation is
=Minimum (400000,40000)-300000=-260000 or we can say Nil.

DeleteDear Sir,
ReplyDeleteMy father passed away this Feb 21st. He was diagnosed with a malignant growth in liver at the last stage. He was under treatment in a private hospital for liver disease for past two years and it was undetected. Also he had renal failure in the last stage. The total treatment cost paid by me was around 1 lac. There was no medical insurance for him. He was a pensioner aged 62 within tax brackets.
I'm self employed and filling ITR 4. Can I avail 80DDB? If so, is it compulsory to attach the bills and certificate? How can I do it when I file return online?
Thanks for your support,
Prasanth
As you father was pensioner ,so he was not dependent on you .Therefore you can not claim 80DDB.
DeleteHowever you/your mother may claim medical reimbursement from your father's department
Thank you Raja Babu sir for your timely support.
DeleteThanks for your support,

So what is this rule.
@Raja babu sir
ReplyDeleteIf expense of heart disease is not covered under 80DDB, then what is the rule No 3A,under this rule it is clearly mentioned Disease or ailment of the heart.

ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteMy mother is having Parkinson's disease. Expense is an outpatient consultation, medicines, physiotherapist fees only and no hospital admitted treatment.
1) Other than the form which is given in site to get signed by Neurologist, can I calculate the total amount spent for consultation, medicines and physiotherapist fees and provide while submitting Tax returns under 80DDB ? Are these eligible for calculating the amount ? This detail is not given in the site.
2) I took a break from work in Jul-2017, so I have not submitted any medical bills (Max Rs. 15000) to employer for either mine or my mother for the duration Mar17-Apr18 year. So where should I provide my medical bills expenses f total amount for Parkinson treatment while filing tax returns? Under "80D - Medical Expenditure (Max 15000)" or across this 80DDB amount ? Please guide.
3) While filing tax returns, how to attach online the signed copy of the Neurologist ? I don't find any place in the site to attach documents. Or in case of 80DDB is it mandatory to send the Doc signed form through normal post to the Income tax office after submitting returns online?
Thanks in advance for your response.
