80ddb in case of insurance

dear all,
one client has got a dependent who is suffering from specified illness under 80ddb. she spent around 8lacs but insurance reimbursed 2.5 lacs.

act says amount received from insurance company has tobe reduced from deduction amount.

What is the amount of deduction under section 80ddb? is 40k fully allowed as 5.5 lacs spent out of pocket
or no deduction as 2.5 lacs from insurance company already exceeds 40k?

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the application of Section 80DDB regarding medical expenses for specified illnesses when insurance reimbursement is involved. The core question is whether insurance payouts reduce the eligible deduction. The consensus suggests that if your out-of-pocket expenses exceed the Rs. 40,000 limit, you can claim the full deduction, irrespective of the insurance amount received.

In my opinion insurance reimbursement does not impact the maximum allowable deduction amount of Rs. 40000/- because out-of-pocket expense Rs 550000/- which is exceeds Rs 40000/- the full Rs 40000/- is allowed as a deduction u/s 80DDB.

It is a separate apart from chapter vi
Thank you Mr. Anoop
