Tax Deduction in case of Mediclaim premium paid

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.

Please tell me under which clause of Section 80D am I permitted to claim mediclaim premium relief of upto Rs.15000 for myself & family PLUS additional upto Rs.20000 for my senior citizen parents ? Is this applicable for returns of AY 2009-10 ?
