20 April 2009 Allowance is different from reimbursement.
If you get medical allowance. it will be fully taxable.
but if you get medical reimbursement, it will be tax free upto Rs.15000/-, because that's when it will be perquisite.
this limit of 15000 will exclude the reimb for govt hospitals/ CIT approved hospitals or hospitals run by employer.
You need to be the querist or approved CAclub expert to take part in this query .
