24 February 2010 As per Section 17(2)
An Individual can claim medical expenses of himself and his family upto Rs.15000/-.
family includes:-
a)Spouse and children of the individual
b)parents, brothers, sisters and relatives of the individual wholly dependent on him.

My question is :-
If father is working(means not dependent) but mother is dependent then wheather an individual can claim Medical reimbursement?
Please tell me with legal lines or any case law
