The statutory dependent definition limits eligible relatives to spouse, children, parents, brothers, sisters, spouse's siblings, and parents' siblings; a cousin (daughter of mother's sister) is excluded, so expenses for her maintenance and medical treatment cannot be claimed as a deduction.

Disability deduction eligibility: a dependent sibling may claim 80DD deduction if financially supporting the disabled dependent.
An Assessing Officer's objection that the son cannot claim the deduction because Mr. X receives pension is incorrect. Deduction under section 80DD covers dependents including brothers and sisters; the son may claim the deduction if the disabled daughter is dependent on him. The son should furnish an undertaking from Mr. X confirming the daughter's dependency on the son rather than on Mr. X.

Disabled dependent eligibility for income tax deductions requires relatives or HUF members to be wholly or mainly dependent.

Deduction under 80D allows an individual who pays medical insurance premiums other than in cash to claim a deduction for premiums for the assessee, spouse and dependent children as one component and for parental premiums as a separate component; the total allowable deduction depends on whether any parent is a senior citizen, with a higher combined deduction if a parent is a senior citizen.

Deduction under section 80D: contributors who pay health insurance premiums non cash may claim proportional deductions

Deduction under 80CCG limited by eligible investment percentage and income threshold, with recapture on scheme violation.
Deduction under the Rajiv Gandhi Equity Savings Scheme is computed as a percentage of eligible investments in listed equity shares and equity oriented fund units but is restricted by a monetary ceiling; sale of previously qualifying units can breach scheme conditions and cause partial recapture as taxable income; exceeding the prescribed gross total income threshold disqualifies the taxpayer from claiming the deduction for that year.

Spouses who each make genuine payments toward a child's education may separately claim a deduction under deduction u/s 80C based on their respective contributions, with each spouse's claim limited by the statutory individual ceiling; the wife may claim her actual payment and the husband may claim up to the maximum permissible individual deduction.

Deduction under section 80C for adopted child's school fees permitted where the statute is silent on biological status.
Because 80C does not specify that the child must be biological, deductions for school fees paid for an adopted child are treated as permissible under the provision; the operative legal point is the statute's silence regarding the child's biological status.

Relief for salary received in arrears or advance is determined by computing tax on the aggregate income on the receipt basis and comparing it with tax computed as if the income had been charged to the earlier year(s); the relief equals the difference. The example aggregates salary and arrears, applies standard and specified deductions, computes net income and tax for the years on receipt and accrual bases, and derives the relief amount which is then deducted from current year tax payable.

Perquisite valuation: employer sale of movable assets to employees taxed as written down value less sale consideration.
Taxable perquisite on employer sale of movable assets to employees is the difference between the employer's written down value (after applying depreciation to cost to reach the balance on the relevant date) and the sale consideration; the document demonstrates this by computing successive depreciated written down values for a car, computer and fridge and subtracting the sale prices to determine the perquisite amounts.
