Quick Summary

This discussion explores the possibility of claiming tax deductions for expenses incurred during COVID-19 treatment. While Section 80D is mentioned as a potential avenue, it primarily covers medical treatment for uninsured senior citizens. The consensus suggests that general deductibility under this section might be limited unless specific conditions related to senior citizens are met.

80d allows deduction for amounts spent for medical treatment of an un-insured senior citizen.
so normally assessees are not eligible if they are not senior citizen or if his parent is not a senior citizen
