Can I claim a tax rebate?

I have a dependent mentally retarded sister with 70% handicap, can I claim Income tax rebate under 80DD.?

  • My sister is 70% handicap and fully dependent on me for her needs. My father also stays with me and is a pensioner with Rs. 6000/- per month pension. Can I claim Income Tax rebate under section 80DD ?

  • Answer:

    Yes, You can claim the Exception since the definition of Dependent for Section 80DD included the Dependent Sister and Brother also. Only thing is that you require the Certificate from Doctor (Please check with your CA the min. Qualification for Doctor) for the Certificate for your sister.
