27 January 2014 A father has two son. Both sons are in taxable limit . Father made payment 10,000/- Rs for his preventive health check-up. Such above payment made by father after taking money from his children because father has no income. Both two son want deduction u/s 80D?.
Please tell me whether any scheme framed by central govt. for preventive health check-up? If no then can it claimed by regular medical bill eg. doctor visiting charges and medicine bill etc

28 January 2014 The extent of the coverage of benefit in terms of the deduction for preventive check up is restricted to Rs 5,000. It includes cost of tests done for health check-up. Does not include medicine bills/doctor visiting fee and most importantly it is within the overall limit u/s80D that is Rs 15,000/20,000 at present.
