04 April 2017 This medical allowance is fully taxable under the head income from salaries

Medical reimbursements is that it helps reduce taxable income of employees.I order to avail the tax benefits, medical bills worth Rs.15,000 need to be submitted.If you do not produce any medical bills to support your claim for reimbursement, the entire Rs.15,000 is taxable.

05 April 2017 Medical Allowance is taxable which calculated in salary. No deduction will be allowed in 80D for allowance. For that you have to take any medical insurance policy.
