Medical expenditure and deduction

I am a State Govt PSU employee of Assam Govt with annual income Rs 5,50,000/- (approx.). My father has been expired in March, 2017 at 76 years due to chronic Kidney failure at Medical Hospital. The medical expenses is reimbursable by employer to a certain limit, say 55% due to employee wise slab. I have incurred approximately Rs 1,56,000/- for my father's treatment but could not saved him. I have submitted reimbursement bill in May, 2017 and yet to received my expenses as on 07-07-2017 and not sure how much amount will received. I supposed, it may be Rs 85,800/- and balance Rs 70,200/- has to be bear from myself. Now, 1) Can I claim (thought I have still not received the bills) Rs 60,000/- (from the amount Rs. 70,200/-) deduction u/s 80DDB in the Assesment Year 2017-18? 2) Can I show balance Rs 10,200/- as medical expenses u/s 80D or any other section for Income Tax Rebate ? 3) Kindly suggest any other best option, please

Hello,
As per my opinion a resident individual can claim deduction u/s 80DDB for medical treatment of spouse, children,parents,brothers & sisters.
As far as section 80D is concerned, medical expenditure on the health of a super senior citizen is deductible if medical claim is not paid on the health of such person.


so, i think if your father was not super senior citizen (i.e. above 80 years), then you can claim deduction u/s 80DDB only & not 80D.

Thanks for information
