06 April 2016 Medical reimbursement is exempted. fixed medical allowance is fully taxable. just change the component name and take the tax benefit against the bills

08 April 2016 No. I will explain you clearly
1. if medical allowance received with salary (as a part of salary) fixed monthly then it will be fully taxable no need to consider Rs. 15000/- exemption limit
2. if as per company policy medical expense will be claimable then you can submit expense bill and take reimbursement for those bill....now you can avail exemption limit of Rs. 15000/- here.

08 April 2016 your point no. 2 is not clear to me. listen, i paid every month medical allowance (rs.3510/- p.m) with salary which is taxable, now employee submitted medical bill of rs.15000/-, we do not have any policy regarding salary, we simply pay salary to employee, pls clear your point 2 based on my given information.

08 April 2016 If you pay fixed allowance to your employee then no exemption limit available even if they provide medical bills
if you are not giving fixed medical allowances to employee and employee claim medical expenses by submitting you bill then you can reimbursement as well as you can give exemption limit
