Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether health insurance provided and paid for by your employer is considered part of your salary or a tax-free benefit. The consensus is that it is generally not a taxable perquisite for the employee, and the employer can claim it as a business expense. It's also noted that Section 80D relates to medical insurance premiums paid by the individual for themselves and their dependents.

It is a taxable perquisite
Don't forget sec 80D
80D is the medical insurance premium paid by the assessee himself for their dependents and their parents

Health insurance paid by the employer will not be taxed in the hands of the employee. Instead the employer can claim the same as business expense.

Yes agree with poornima ji
No, It's not a part of employees salary or any perquisite
