06 January 2017 Priyen, there is no direct section applicable to Medical Insurance Claim received, unlike Life Insurance Claim which is dealt with under Section 10 as exempt income, subject to certain conditions.
In my view, the amount so received is not "Income" which can be considered as taxable in the hands of your uncle. The payment received by your uncle would be based on the nature of the illness and treatment undergone. It may be considered a capital receipt not meeting the definition of "Income" in the normal parlance.
