According to Section 80U of the Income Tax Act, taxpayers with disabilities can claim a fixed tax deduction. If you have a disability, you can reduce your taxable income by a specific amount. This deduction is meant to offer financial relief and support to taxpayers living with a disability.
The deduction is Rs. 75,000 for individuals with 40% to 80% disability and Rs. 1,25,000 for those with more than 80% disability. To claim this you need a valid disability certificate from a certified medical authority.

Anyone with a disability can use this calculator to figure out how much they can deduct from their taxable income.

The calculator serves as a helpful tool but the actual deduction will only be allowed if you fulfil all the legal requirements.
Section 80U applies when the taxpayer themselves has a disability. It allows the individual to claim a fixed deduction for their own certified medical condition. However, Section 80DD is for taxpayers who have a disabled dependent such as spouse, child or parent. It provides a deduction if the taxpayer spends money on the care or medical treatment of the differently abled family member.
In both sections, the deduction limits are the same. In short, 80U is for your own disability while 80DD is for expenses incurred on a dependent’s disability.
