Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether tax benefits can be claimed for medical expenses incurred on a mother-in-law. Unfortunately, tax deductions are typically limited to expenses for oneself, a spouse, and dependent children. While premiums may be tax-exempt up to a certain limit, direct medical expenses for in-laws are not usually eligible for tax relief.

Limit of expenses???
No. Deduction is available only for medical expenditure of Self, spouse and dependent children.
Premium is tax exempted subject to a certain limit.
