Medical reimbursment ?
This query is : Resolved
21 February 2013
Dear Sir,
suppose a person getting monthly salary of rs. 50,000/-
and his break up is given below
basic 20,000/-
HRA 15,000/-
conveyance 10,000/-
Medical reimb. 5,000/-
medical allowance is fully taxable but as far as medical reimb. is concerned it is exempted up to 15000/-
so my query is this, if he provides medical bill up to rs. 15,000/- as reimbursement, can he get deduction of rs. 15,000/-
because reimbursement is fixed in a nature per month i think it is taxable ?
but some people says it is non taxable and he can get deduction of rs. 15000/-
but i think reimbursement is apart from salary and it can not be included in salary ,and it is non taxable if employee provide bills for getting these deduction and these reimbursement is sepretaly shown as medical exp in the books of company not as part of salary or salary ?
it can be a cost of personnel

reimbursement for medical expenses is exempt upto Rs 15,000 p.a.
companies divide the medical reimbursement portion over the months just to keep monthly cash flow steady and tax computation simple.
on production of medical bills, your tax computation is accordingly adjusted.
So it doesnt matter if u are receiving medical reimbursement as a part of your salary.
as long as you have submitted bills for Rs 15,000, that amount remains exempt.

and i think it will cover under form 12ba as non taxable perqusite

Dear Uday,
You are right that its is a non-taxable perquisite.
In for 12BA only the taxable perquisite shall be shown. Accordingly, non - taxable perquisite is either not shown or shown at Nil value.

because in form 16 only taxable perquisite can be shown , so many people have their view that exemption of rs. 15000/- is allowed
but in income tax it is not covered under any section for deduction
thanks
