<h1>Deduction for Chronic Disease Treatment Expenses Under Section 80DDB: Up to INR 1,00,000 for Senior Citizens.</h1> Section 80DDB of the Income Tax Act allows resident individuals or Hindu Undivided Families (HUF) to claim deductions for medical treatment expenses of specified chronic diseases, such as cancer, as per Rule 11DD. The deduction is capped at INR 40,000 or the actual expenditure, whichever is lower, and increases to INR 1,00,000 for senior citizens from April 1, 2019. A specialist's certificate is required, and the deduction is reduced by any insurance or employer reimbursements. The expenses must be for the individual or their dependents and should not be confused with health insurance premiums, which are covered under Section 80D.
