Disability exemption under Section 80DD: a single capped deduction applies regardless of number of disabled dependents.
Claiming tax relief for dependents with disabilities under Section 80DD concerns the allowable deduction amount when more than one dependent is handicapped. The operative clarification states that the statutory maximum deduction for that provision is a single capped amount; taxpayers cannot aggregate multiple dependent claims to exceed the prescribed ceiling.
