VALUATION of MEDICAL FACILITIES

 

 

Is the perquisite in the following instances not chargeable, as all the instances are taken place in the case of Mr.X, an employee, in a period of single financial year?   Here, attention is required on the words underlined, once again.

 

1.     First he got a Medical facility valued Rs.2,00,000 in a Hospital maintained by the employer in Chennai.

2.     The employer reimbursed the expenditure Rs.3,50,000,  incurred by the employee on medical treatment of his spouse, in a hospital maintained by the Government in Hyderabad.   

3.     The employer reimbursed the expenditure of Rs.15,000 spent by the employee in obtaining medical treatment for his brother ( a member of the family) from a doctor in Delhi. ( Let us remember, that this limit of Rs.15,000 is in such a case where treatment is given by any doctor.)

 

Now, total medical expenses reimbursement comes to Rs.5,65,000 (Rs.2,00,000 + Rs.3,50,000 + Rs.15,000 ).  

 

Is this Rs.5,65,000/- perquisite non taxable?

Do the lines  in the act not encourage to infer so?
