Section 80 d deduction

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

You can claim an income tax deduction under Section 80D for medical expenses incurred on your senior citizen parents, even if part of the cost is reimbursed through your salary. The deductible amount is the actual expense paid minus any reimbursement received. You can claim the remaining amount as a deduction, provided you have the original medical bills as proof of payment.
