If you've incurred medical expenses for your dependent parents, you might be able to claim deductions on your Income Tax Return (ITR). Section 80D allows claims for preventive health checkups up to Rs. 5,000 per person. Additionally, Section 80DD may permit deductions for medical expenditure for parents, with specific limits. You'll need to check the eligibility criteria and gather the necessary documentation to support your claim.

You can claim a maximum of Rs. 5000 each for preventive health checkup u/s 80D for self and parents. Since there is no medical insurance, no other expenses are deductible.
