Limit under Section 80D for the AY 2019-20

218 views 3 replies

I and my wife are senior citizens. I have paid Rs. 17237 towards Mediclaim , Rs. 32403 towards medicines and Rs. 5000 for diagnostic tests thus totaling Rs. 54640. Is not all this admissible under Section 80 D ? The IT department  says only Rs. 50000 is admissible.

Yes, the deduction would be limited to Rs. 50,000/- only. Section 80D specifies that the limit is inclusive of medical expenditure

It will be limited to 50000/- only because 5000/- for diagnostic is included in maximum limit of 50000/-. it's not a seperate additional limit.

Thanks a lot, Mr. Kiran and Mr. Pravin.
