Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies tax deductions available for expenses incurred due to Covid-19. It explains that ex-gratia payments to families are tax-exempt, financial aid up to £10 lakh from friends and family is tax-free, and health insurance premiums can be deducted up to £25,000. The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has introduced provisions to help individuals claim these deductions when filing their Income Tax Return.

  • The ex-gratia payment received by an employee’s family members has been exempted from being taxed without any limit.
  • Financial help of up to Rs 10 lakh from friends and families will be tax-free.
  • Tax deductions can also be claimed of up to Rs 25,000 against the premium paid for a health insurance policy.

Keeping in view the financial losses and expenses suffered by people during the Covid-19 pandemic, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) had recently made some provisions to help citizens claim tax deductions while filing the Income Tax Return (ITR) against coronavirus-related medical treatment expenses.

Sir. what are those provisions, kindly help me out
