80D quries

This discussion clarifies whether medical expenses for parents can be claimed under Section 80D of the Income Tax Act. Generally, if expenses are covered or reimbursed by your employer's group health insurance, you cannot claim a deduction. However, if you personally pay for medical expenses like scans, X-rays, or medicines, you may be able to claim up to Rs. 5,000 as a preventive health check-up deduction, provided the company doesn't deduct the amount from your salary for the insurance premium.
