Usually insurance claim money is tax free.
Under which section TDS deducted by your employer ?
Hi sir..
Im not sure sir. But I wanted to have some knowledge before questioning my employer.
 Any amount received from the Insurance company under a medical policy will not be treated as income of the insured person as it is not a profit or income to the insured person but only a reimbursement.

in your case your employer has deducted TDS so
first ask the person in charge reason for deduction of TDS and under which section TDS is deducted.
