We know that Rs 15000/- is exempt from tax as medical reimbursement in a financial year. In my case, I joined my new job in May-09. I was unemployed in April-09. The question is, whether I can claim tax exemption for my medical bills dated April-09.
Is there any rule/clause which prevents my current employer from considering medical bills (for tax exemption) before I joined ?
My current employer pays a monthly medical reimbursement, and has capped the total medical reimbursement at approx 12000 for this financial year. Can I still claim the full tax expemption of 15000/- if I have the bills totalling to 15000 ?
