The example given by you are not covered under preventive health check-up. Even as a clear definition of preventive health check-up is not available, experts define health check-ups that are not curative or diagnostic in nature.  “Preventive health check-up here would mean annual check-ups that people get done to assess their health."

 

 

 

Thanks.. But Sir, I claimed in my return, if any doc demanded then how to prove its preventive or actual.. If I m taking a medicines as a preventive measure.. Is it sufficient??

No, it will not  be considered.  Preventive Health checkup comprises of a comprehensive set of tests, which have been specially designed keeping our health needs in mind. it is a early detection of all types of illnesses and risk factors.

 

If Doctor prescribed to take a lifelong blood preasure medicine & also vitamin tablet etc. Then can we take that as it is a preventive mode???
