Dear Experts,
This is in continuation of my above query.
Correction done : Mediclaim Insurance under Section 80D for a sum of Rs.10,000/-.

Sir Medical allowance is taxable whereas reimbursement of medical expenses is tax free upto Rs.15,000/- per annum.
Mediclaim is allowed under section 80D subject to the conditions mentioned therein.

Sir,
Thank you for your immediate response.
I wrongly mentioned as Medical Allowance. You are right, it is only 'Reimbursement of Medical Expenses' i.e. the assessee produces the bill monthly and claiming Rs.1250/- aggregating to Rs.15,000/-. This is the actual position.
Now, the same assessee is claiming Mediclaim Insurance of Rs.10000/-.
I am able to understand now that the assessee is eligible for both.
