Respected Sir/ Madam, My father is a senior citizen, retired nationalised bank employee. His yearly Mediclaim amount is automatically deducted from his pension account for group health insurance scheme for retired employees. The premium is completely born by retiree with no employer contribution from deducting from account. Thus, the insurance policy in my father's name. Can I claim deduction under section 80D, as per paying premium for senior citizen parent Mediclaim? I contribute towards my father's / family expenses, thus, indirectly I am paying premium, though the policy / account statement is in my father's name due to reasons as mentioned above. Kindly help. Thanks in advance
