Quick Summary
Generally, Input Tax Credit (ITC) is not available for mediclaim policies, as these are considered personal expenses blocked under Section 17(5) of the GST law. However, if an employer is legally mandated to provide medical insurance to employees, ITC may be claimable. There's a point of discussion regarding temporary MHA guidelines during lockdown, which might create confusion for claiming ITC due to their temporary nature and varying periods.

Please elaborate
No
But if such policy is mandatory under any law then you can claim itc
No ....it's specifically block under Section 17(5)
For which period ?
No ITC available as same is blocked under Sec17(5).

ITC of Personal expenses not allowed.
In case of mediclaim of personal nature then ITC cannot be claimed on personal expenses
Your querry is related to mediclaim which you have taken for self then the same can't be taken as per the law. If you are a employer and you are required to take medical insurance policy as per legal requirement then the same is not Blocked.
You can claim deduction under section 80D in the Income tax act regarding mediclaim insurance policy for self.
Completely agreed with Sonu Agrawal
Thanks
