22 April 2013 As u all know from this new budget, we can claim medical reimbursement expenses upto Rs.5000 in addition to as usual medicalim u/s 80D.

My doubt is if an employee's wife's medical expenses is getting reimbursed then can he claim that in his return?

(Wife is a house maker, no income earned by her)

25 July 2013 Rs.5000 additional deduction is for preventive health check up only

Incase employer reimbursed means that is covered under Rs.15000 medical reimbursement exemption. not comes under 80D
