10 June 2014 Hi,
I had purchased medical insurance in Mar 2013 that had premium about 28000 and term 5 years. I had paid premium in full at that time. However, since I was studying in college, I did not file IT return. Please advise whether I can mention it in deductions now and lower my income tax (TDS) under section 80D.

Thanks,
Vinay

10 June 2014 you need to claim in the year of payment itself. so you can claim this in only in tax return for FY 2012-13 (AY 2013-14)
