Medical reimbursement is allowable upto Rs. 15000 per annum and is to be calculated overall from all employers.

Even if more amount is received during a single year from one employer or from more than one employers, any such amount exceeding shall be taxable.

Thanks pratik .

I have one more issue. I have filled my ITR for FY 2015-16 .I was getting the below error :

The amount of salary disclosed in Income details/Part BTI is less than 90% of Salary reported in Schedule TDS1

and by mistake i have sumitted my ITR and didn't modified the right salary amount under tax details . As of now i have submitted the ITR but not verified . Now i want to again file the ITR so that i can correct my mistake. Should i file the ITR as orginial under section 139 or file the revised return under secion 135 may be.

Can you please suggest i am confused as i didn't verified my return .I mean i didn't verified the ITR-V acknoledgement receipt.

It was just warning and by mistake i click on submit button.
