Raja sir, father is a senior citizen as he is of the age above 60 years and resident in india for the purpose of section 80D, hence higher limit of Rs. 30,000 shall be applicable in respect of parents.
The deduction in respect of "assesssee and his family" will be Rs. 25,000 because none is a senior citizen. I agree with this.
But in respect of parents, total medical premium is 30,500 [27000+3500].
As you have written, if either of parents is senior cirizen [in my case father is above 60 years] so this limit should be 30,000.
The deduction should be lower of 30000 or 30500=30,000
But why should deduction be only 28,500 in respect of parents. Is the limit of non senior citizen individually applicable or just in aggregate.
Whether the rule is:-
(a) Maximum limit on senior + non senior citizen is 30,000
OR
(b) Maximum limit on non senior citizen is 25,000 and, maximum limit on senior+non senior citizen is 30,000
As per your answer, I think option (b) is right.
I am particularly confused whether the limit on non senior citizen is individually applicable to them as 25,000? Or only aggregate limit shall be effective i.e. 30,000?

3500 (senor citizen father), 25000 ( 58 year old mother) and 25,000( for self ,spouse and children) aggregating to 53,500 is eligible u/s 80D.
