Taxing of medical reimbursement

This query is : Resolved 

15 October 2013 Hai,

XVII Medical Reimbursement by the employer exceeding Rs.15,000/- p.a. u/s 17(2) is to be taken as perquisite.

Kindly illustrate and explain, whether

(i) value of med exp is exempted?
(ii) reimbursement upto 15000 is exempted?

because, I have a case in hand, wherein, an employee after taking treatment for cancer in r/o his wife at a govt hospital at TVM has reimbursed the whole treatment for an amount of Rs. 2,09,000/- and above. now he says the whole amount is exempted from tax.

Is is possible/

Kindly clarify.

Yes under this Medical Expenses are exempted upto Rs. 15000/-

However for specified diseases it is 100% exempt if treatment is taken in Govt. Hospitals/Specified Hospitals.
