Sir, as per my understanding deduction under section 80D maximum allowable is 15,000 and if the policy is taken on the life of a senior citizen an additional amount of 5000 will be allowed as deduction. In any case deductible amount can not be more than 20,000

15 July 2012 Separate deduction is available for the policy of parents. If you will go through Section 80D(2)(a) and 80D(2)(b) you will see that clause (a) For Self & Family
and clause (b) For Parents ....are connected with the word "and" which shows that both are separate deductions.
.
Please also keep in mind ...For AY 2012-13- Senior Citizen's age limit is 65 years and for AY 2013-14 it is 60 years.

15 July 2012 Sir ,

I agree with you sir. But taxmann publication readyreckoner specifically says additional deduction for senior citizen is 5000 ?


16 July 2012 It means, if the assessee is a senior citizen then he will get 15000+5000=20000
deduction.
.
If such assessee pays premium (in case accepted by any Bold Insurance Company) of his parents , in respect of that premium also, he will get additional Deduction of 20000.
.
