Sir my mother in law earn interest income of 8 lakhs. Can she claim deduction under section 57(iii) for payment for seeking professional advice to earn this income? What documents she need to produce to claim such deduction? Thank You

Kindly let me know whether Normal Citizens - Female below 60 Years of age are eligible to claim Standard Deduction of Rs.40000/- from Interest Income i.e. Other Sources of Income.

Can I claim deduction u/s 80DD and 80DDB for medical expenses on my 84 year father-in-law who is dependent on me, these are also supported by Medical Certificate in Form 10-IA with Hospitalisation Bills. My employer has verified the Medical Certificate and Hospital Bills but are refusing the duduction that these are not available for a dependent “father in law”. Can you please provide a case law or precise section in the IT Act specifically providing the expenses under these sections for “father in law”.

My mother is a Sr. citizen and receives family pension from the central govt after my father’s death. There is a small business in her name and the profits are in the range of 1-2 lakhs per annum. She has income from bank interest and does not have any salaried income. Is she eligible for standard deduction of 50K or is she only eligible for deduction of 15K (due to family pension) while filing her ITR? Also due to the small business which she is showing, which ITR form does she have to file (last year she filed ITR4).

My father is planning to sell one residential property and the proceeds of the sale plus loan that will be drawn by me (i.e. his son) would be consideration for purchasing of new property that would be under my name (I.e. his son). Will my father be able to claim deduction under sec 54 or should the new residential property be under his name only or can the new residential property can be under joint name? As per one of case laws this was allowed as deduction refer below summary: regards the name under whom the property is purchased, it can be seen that the son of the assessee is a direct relation and as per the Hon’ble Delhi High Court decision in case of CIT(A) Vs. Kamal Vahal 351 ITR 4 where the assessee purchased a new house in name of his wife, the claim under Section 54 is held valid. Thus, the exemption could not be denied if the entire investment had come out of the proceeds of an old property. Thus, the order of the CIT(A) is not justified in light of the decision in case of Kamal Vahal,” the Tribunal said Can you please confirm if my father can claim this exemption
