No, I believe the new medical board and form 10ia is for persons with autism,
cerebral palsy and multiple disabilities.
However, it is a matter of concern that even when provisions clearly state that
in case where disability is temporary, disability certificate should be issued
for a specified period, and renewed thereafter, but authorities have started
issuing limited certificates to everyone, even with permanent disability. At
least, I have been issued limited certificate in Maharashtra, please share
your experiences.
Of course, it is the case of mechanical application of rules, and nothing more!
Rajesh.

Hi guys !
Till last year, I just used to enclose a copy of my Disability Certificate
while filing IT returns in order to claim income deduction u/s Section 80 (U).

New rules for proof of disability under Sec. 80 DD and 80 U
Section 80DD allows deduction for medical treatment of a dependant with a
disability, while section 80U gives a similar deduction for the assessee himself
having the disability.
In either case, the disability is one whether it is severe disability or
otherwise approved under section 56(4) of the Persons with Disability (Equal
Opportunities,
Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act 1995 or under section 2 of
the National Trust for Welfare of Persons with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Mental
Retardation and Multiple Disabilities Act, 1999. In either case, the claim
has to be supported by a copy of certificate issued by a medical authority in
the prescribed form and manner.
Such a form has been prescribed under Rule 11A.
It is understood that it has been substituted by Notification No. 177 of
2005/ S.O.No.896(E) dated June 29, 2005.
The Rule 11A prior to substitution required the certification to follow the
guidelines under the Persons with Disability (Equal Opportunities, Protection
of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995.
The present rule, however, is more detailed and would, therefore, require
the attention of those who would be availing themselves of the benefit of the
tax relief provided under section 80DD and 80U. The certificate has to be
in the Form 10IA. The new rule effective from June 29, 2005 (2005) 196 CTR (St.)
107 is:
"11A. Medical authority for certifying autism, cerebral palsy and multiple
disabilities and certificate to be obtained from the medical authority for the
purposes of deduction under Sec. 80DD and Sec. 80U
(1) For the purposes of clause (e) of the Explanation to sub-section (4) of
Sec. 80DD and clause (d) of the Explanation to sub-section (2) of Sec. 80U,
the medical authority for certifying `autism', `cerebral palsy', `multiple
disabilities', `person with disability' and `severe disability' referred to
in clauses (a), (c), (h), (j) and (o) of section 2 of the National Trust

Multiple
Disabilities Act, 1999 (44 of 1999), shall consist of the following:
(i) a neurologist having a degree of Doctor of Medicine (MD) in Neurology
(in case of children, a Paediatric Neurologist having an equivalent degree); or
(ii) A Civil Surgeon or Chief Medical Officer in a Government hospital.
(2) For the purposes of sub-section (4) of Sec. 80DD and sub-section (2) of
Sec. 80U, the assessee shall furnish along with the return of income, a copy
of the certificate issued by the medical authority, -

disability is suffering from autism, cerebral palsy or multiple disability; or
(ii) in the form prescribed vide Notification No.16-18/97-NI.I, dated June
1, 2001 published in the Gazette of India, Part I, section 1, dated June 13,

16-18/97-NI.I, dated February 18, 2002 published in the Official Gazette of
India, Part
I, section 1 dated February 27, 2002 [published at (2004) 190 CTR (St.) 94]
and notified under the Guidelines for evaluation of various disabilities and
procedure for certification, keeping in view the Persons with Disabilities
(Equal Opportunities,
Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995 (1 of 1996), in any
other case.
(3) Where the condition of disability is temporary and requires
reassessment after a specified period, the certificate shall be valid for the
