Mr. A Pays Mediclaim Premium of Rs.1000/- for Mr. X.

Mr. X is dependent brother of Mr. A.

Can Mr. A claim this Mediclaim Premium u/s 80D in his Computation of Income (Assuming, There is No Rs.15000/- 80D limit reached of Mr. A) ?

I don't think Mr.A can claim the deduction of Mr.X [dependent Brother] under sec 80D as per law its applicable only for dependent spouse, children and parents.

Mediclaim paid for self, spouse or children of the assessee can be claimed as deduction.

Also, mediclaim paid for dependant parents can be claimed.

But, it CANNOT be claimed for mediclaim paid Brothers or Sisters.

Yes , he can claim his brother age is below 18 Yrs. i.e If the person is dependent with Minor. i.e his parents are BPL ( below poverty line) at the time of employement or issuing the time of card by the employer, parents ( BPL) and Brother/sister are in Minors, please fight this issue for further.. some Money made insurance companies will play this type of tricks for hiding the money lends also. and at the time fo choosing third party agents by companies, insurance fellows they will mesmorize the in efficeint HR's those who are working for symbol of status jobs not food for stomach fellows, please fight this issue, or change the third party issuance fellows. as of my advise please recruit the people those who are ready to work for food and fulfil theri hungry stomachs of families.

No I don't think Mr A will get the benifit of Mediclaim u/s 80D because it is applicable only for dependent children,spose and parents of the assesse.
