According to Section 80Dof the Income-Tax Act, a taxpayer can claim a deduction of Rs 50,000 towards medical expenditure incurred on himself or a family member who is a senior citizen. However, the deduction can be claimed only if the person for whom the expenditure is incurred is not covered by health insurance
