In case expenses incurred for the treatment in a recognised or approved hospital, which are generally Govt. Hospitals, and if the amount reimbursed is against the said expenses, Rs. 40000/ will be exempt.
In the present case, where it seems to be a reimbursement against medical bills, amount taxable in your hand would be Rs 25000/-. i.e. 40000- allowable amount 15000/-.
