VALUATION of MEDICAL FACILITIES

 

 

Is the perquisite in the following instances not chargeable, as all the instances are taken place in the case of Mr.X, an employee, in a period of single financial year?   Here, attention is required on the words underlined, once again.

 

1.     First he got a Medical facility valued Rs.2,00,000 in a Hospital maintained by the employer in Chennai.

2.     The employer reimbursed the expenditure Rs.3,50,000,  incurred by the employee on medical treatment of his spouse, in a hospital maintained by the Government in Hyderabad.   

3.     The employer reimbursed the expenditure of Rs.15,000 spent by the employee in obtaining medical treatment for his brother ( a member of the family) from a doctor in Delhi. ( Let us remember, that this limit of Rs.15,000 is in such a case where treatment is given by any doctor.)

 

Now, total medical expenses reimbursement comes to Rs.5,65,000 (Rs.2,00,000 + Rs.3,50,000 + Rs.15,000 ).  

 

Is this Rs.5,65,000/- perquisite non taxable?

Do the lines  in the act not encourage to infer so?

Not TAXABLE.

Assesee is entitled to claim medical benefits under different clauses in the SAME FINANCIAL YEAR.

 

Only if an employee gets treatment in a Private Hospital and gets reimbursement from his employer it is taxed as perquisites. .  that too upto 15000 its not taxable. .

 

IN UR CASE ALL THE RE-IMBURSEMENT IS FOR THE TREATMENT IN A GOVT AND EMPLOYERS HOSPITAL ITSELF. . AND IN 3RD SITUATION ITS FROM A PRIVATE HOSPITAL AND THE AMOUNT DOES NOT EXCEED 15000. .

 

SO NO AMOUNT IS TAXABLE PERQISITES. .
