Reimbursement of Medical Expenses part not included in our salary break up. instead of this can we eligible for claim u/s 17 as deduction?(Reimbursement of Medical Expenses upto Rs. 15000/- providing the bills)
11 March 2013
Reimbursement of medical expenses not exceed ing Rs.15,000/- is not a perquisite covered u/s 17(2). Therefore, neither it can be added to salary nor a consequential deduction can be claimed therefrom.

You said it is not a part of salary so there is no qestion of deduction.
But if your employer can re-structure you salary and shfit some amount from your other allowance ( spcl allowance etc.) to medical reimbursement eligibility, you would get the exemption.
