Single Woman Seeks Tax Rebates: Section 80DDB Allows Deductions for Critical Illnesses, Not Dental Expenses or Non-Dependents. A single working woman inquired about tax rebates on medical expenses for herself and her non-dependent parents, specifically mentioning Rs. 20,000 spent on dental treatment. Two responses clarified that under Section 80DDB, deductions are available for medical expenses related to critical illnesses, but only for dependents, and require a medical certificate from a government hospital. The deductions are up to Rs. 40,000, or Rs. 60,000 for senior citizens. However, no deductions are available for dental expenses, and only Medi-claim insurance premiums or medical allowances from employers, up to Rs. 15,000, are deductible. (AI Summary)
