28 June 2016 Whether Medical expenditure incurred by an individual for himself can be claimed u/s 80D if he haven't taken any medical insurance policy and also reimbursement from his employer.

If eligible, what is the amount of deduction that can be claimed?

For Example: If an individual has incurred medical expenditure of Rs.1,70,000/- for his Knee Surgery in FY 2015-16, and has not claimed any reimbursement from his employer and also no medical insurance policy has been taken. In this situation what is the amount of deduction that can be claimed U/s 80D?

Kindly respond at the earliest.

Thanks in Advance.
