This discussion clarifies whether COVID-19 related medical expenses can be claimed under Section 80D of the Income Tax Act. For dependent senior citizen parents hospitalised for COVID treatment, a deduction of up to £50,000 is possible if no mediclaim is in place. However, for self-treatment at home, including pharmacy purchases and regular medicines, only a deduction of up to £5,000 for medical check-ups is allowed.

1. Yes maximum upto Rs. 50,000/- if no mediclaim.

2. No. only upto Rs. 5000/- for medical checkup.

Sir in Ist point can we claim since it is not covered under specified disease
