<h1>Section 80DDB: Tax Deduction for Medical Treatment Expenses for Specific Diseases, Up to 40,000; 60,000 for Seniors.</h1> Section 80DDB of the Income-tax Act, effective from April 1, 2004, allows a deduction for medical treatment expenses for specific diseases. An individual or Hindu undivided family (HUF) can claim a deduction of the actual amount paid or 40,000, whichever is less. For senior citizens, this limit is 60,000. The deduction requires a certificate from a specialist in a government hospital. The deduction is reduced by any insurance or employer reimbursement. 'Dependant' includes family members reliant on the taxpayer, and 'senior citizen' refers to residents aged 65 or above.
