I have engaged in a private company; Company has Mediclaim policy with United India Insurance. As per the company policy employee can top up the limit of mediclaim under the same policy .

For Example Company paid for medical insurance Rs-4000/- for covering medical insurance of 4Lcs for individual employee, in the same policy the insurance company provide an option to top upto Rs-6 Lacs for which Employee has to pay Rs- 1000/- which will be deducted from the salary of the respective employee. Although the single policy is in the name of company but the insurance company provide separate Mediclaim card for availing the medical benefit for every individual.

In this regard my question whether the respective employee can claim [partial portion] u/s 80D and which documents or proof is required to be produce for claiming the deduction?

1) Policy Single in the name of the company
2) Entire payment initially made by the company and enhance amount will be adjusted in the subsequent period by adjustment of salary.
