Medical Reimbursement added in gross salary i.e. section 17 (1)

I had a surgery in FY 2021-22 & my employer reimbursed the medical expenses in Feb 2022. But they have added the reimbursement amount of 1.5 lakh in the gross income of FY 2021-22 & didn't exempted it & also they have deducted the TDS accordingly. So is there any way I can get the tax benifit for this amount in ITR filing as I have bear the hospitalisation expenses from my savings & still paying tax on it?

As per sec. 17(2) of IT act, medical reimbursement paid to employee is been treated as perquisites, and hence taxable.

Appreciate your help!

My pleasure.......
