17 May 2013 Respected Sir,

One of my client doesnt have any mediclaim policy of his parents, but he had done medical expense towards his mother around Rs.300000/- throughout the year ended 31.03.2013 and he holds all the hospital bills as well, can he claim mediclaim u/s 80D for Rs.20000 as his mother is senior citizen or any other deduction.

Yours Faithfully

17 May 2013 Only two types of deduction allowed in section 80 D

1 medical insurance
2 for preventive health check up

Deduction are allowed as per the maximum limit of expenditure as defined under the section.

But in any case, the treatment can not be allowed u/s 80 D.
For such treatment expenditure you may refer section 80 DD or Section 80DDD, which specifically deals with the maintaince and treatment.
