02 October 2012 Mansi, please try to understand that the employer is in the fiduciary role while it makes the TDS. So the practice of asking for the documents may differ from company to company. Ultimately the aim is to grant the deduction under chapter VI-A. Please do not go by the words, try to go by practice. There is always a difference between law and practice.

03 October 2012 Yes Mansi, the employer can very well say that only the bills of last two months are acceptable even though the employee has credit in his med allowance. Have seen this practice myself. It's applied to avoid employees submitting the bills of the entire year at the last moment.
