Covid-19 Medical reimbursement from Employer

Ask employer to modify the TDS return & declare the covid 19 reimbursement as tax exempt.

If he obliges, good; otherwise only option left is claim it in ITR. Let inquiry arise, you can reply and sunstantiate your claim as per law.

Thanks Sir. I also thought of the same as chances of employer modifying and furnishing modified Form-16 is bleak. The only thing I worry is the lengthy enquiry proceedings as I will have to present multiple documents 8n favor 9f my claim, as employer had no option in HRMS to mark the reimbursement as Covid or Non-Covid related.

Get the certificate from employer that particular amount was given for covid 19 medical treatment.

That's enough to claim the exemption.
