Income tax law gives a special deduction to the persons who suffer from some kind of disability. This comes under section 80U of income tax act in which the persons who are suffering from some kind of or total disability has the special relief in income tax act.

The deduction provided is flat Rs. 50,000, irrespective of the expense incurred if the disability is at least 40%. If the disability is severe (80% or more), the deduction can be up to Rs. 1 lakh. One needs to provide a copy of all the certificates issued by a medical authority in order to avail this benefit. A point to remember that, if the disability is less than 40%, this section cannot be used for Tax Exemptions
