Answer

What tax benefits can parents of a child with a disability claim in India?

Parents of a child with a disability in India can claim a flat deduction under Section 80DD for the child's care, treatment, training, rehabilitation or insurance, on a two-tier basis (40%+ disability and 80%+ severe disability), supported by a valid disability certificate under the RPwD Act 2016. Section 80U is claimed instead by the person with the disability once they are an adult taxpayer. A clinical AbilityScore and any diagnosis are formed only at a Pinnacle Blooms Network centre under qualified clinician care.
