Dear Sudhir,

Unfortunately the section 80DDB has limit on expenditure. So you cant claim complete expenditure.

The Claim can be max Rs.40,000 and Rs. 60,000 in case of Senior Citizen

So you can claim deduction of Rs.60,000

Refer section analysis of section 80DDB on https://www.exploreincometax.com/Indian-Income-tax-Act-1961/Section-80DDB

Secondly this is a Deduction for 'Expenditure incurred on specified dieseases of DEPENDANT PERSON'

In case of Individual dependant can be Spouse, Children , parents  WHO ARE WHOLLY OR MAINLY DEPENDED FOR SUPPORT AND MAINTANANCE.

So primafacie your mother could have been depended on one of Your Brothers for her support and maintanance,. then he alone can claim this.

Alternatively you may argue that she is dependant on 'ALL Three sons' ,, THEN this an Arguable Point. You need check for any earlier caselaws decided if any on this matter.

Mr. Srekanth is absolutely right.

 

Refer Rule 11DD; and obtain certificate in FormI01 from Oncologist. The Oncologist can clarify that Squamous cell carcinoma is a malignant cancer, for easy understanding and reference of IT authority.

Your Income Tax Lawyer can help you further.
