Medical Expenses Reimbursed by Employer

Fully Taxable !!

 Valuation of perquisites in case of Medical Facility is provided in India: The taxable value of perks will be calculated in the following cases:

1) Hospital is maintained by the employer: If the Hospital is maintained by the employer then expenses incurred in connection with the facility provided to its employees or any member of his family will not be chargeable to tax without any ceiling limit( IN THE HANDS OF ALL EMPLOYEES).

2) Hospital is maintained by Central or State Govt., Local authority or any other person approved by the Govt.: In this case any expenses incurred or reimbursed by the employer for any treatment will not be chargeable to tax.

3) If hospital is maintained by a person approved by Chief Commissioner having regard to the prescribed guidelines then for the treatment of diseases given in Rule 3A(2), expenses incurred or reimbursed by the employer will not be chargeable to tax.(The employee should attach with his return of Income a certificate from the hospital specifying the nature of diseases as well as amount of expenses.)

4) Health Insurance premium paid or reimbursed by the employer will not be charged to tax.

Sir i think medical facilities provided by employer in the hospital maintained by employer is not taxable in the hand of employees. It is tax free.

Sorry if i am wrong.

MR. SATYA,, THE PROBLEM WAS GIVEN ABOVE DEALS WITH REIMBURSEMENT OF MEDICAL EXPENDITURE  BY  EMPLOYER  SO  IT  WOULD BE  FULLY  TAXABLE. IF HE GETS TREATMENT IN SUCH A HOSPITAL WHICH IS MAINTAIN BY EMPLOYER THEN IT WILL BE TAX FREE.BOTH CASES ARE DIFFERENT.

medical expenses are taxable as they are reimbursed by the employer so it will fall in category of  PERQUISITES u/s 17(3)

"Hospital is maintained by any other person not specified above(i.e. Private Hospital): Expenses incurred or reimbursed by the employer for any treatment will not be chargeableto tax upto Rs. 15,000.00. Any amount over and above Rs. 15,000.00 will be chargeable to tax sin the hands of employee."...

I think, the query falls in this category, as its nt mentioned by the asker...

So, it becomes taxable, for any amount exceeding Rs. 15000

Medical Reimbursement is tax free upto Rs.15000. It is taxable in case it is paid as allowance per month and not as reimbursement.

Ms. Barkha u r wrong..medical expenses incurred or reimbursed by employer are taxable over and above Rs.15000/- in case when medical treatment of employee or his family members is in any private hospital,nursing home or clinic in INDIA.Medical Facility if provided by employer who is company,aop,boi,firm is taxable in the hands of employer as FBT. So,Medical Reimbursements are Tax Free Perquisites for all whether specified employee or not.
