Dear Friends,

 

One of my colleague is getting Spectacle Allowance as part of his CTC. My query in this regards are as under:

1. Whether this is part of Medical Allowance / Medical Reimbursement under 80 D ( Max Limit - 15000/- per annum)

2. If this a separate allowance what is the scope - whether it covers consultation fees of ophthalmologist, cost of medicine or also the cost of lens and spec frame.

3. Is there any monetary limit for this?

Thanks and Regards,
