Dear,

I am a salaried class employee. I have paid Rs. 25000/- towards mediclaim policy which covers myself, my wife, dependent child, my parents. This is a composite policy covering all the persons mentioned above in one policy.  (Parents are senior citizen)

Kindly tell me how much deduction I can claim.

As per the various provisions deduction of Rs. 15000/- is available for the taxpayer, spouse and dependent and another Rs.15,000 separately for parents. And if your parents are senior citizens, this limit is Rs.20,000. In your case, you can claim for Rs.25,000/-. No problem.
