80d deduction

Tax queries 417 views 2 replies

Hi,   I need a clarification on the deduction of 80D under CH VIA deduction that, whether the deduction allowed to be claimed on accrual basis or on payment basis. Eg. If a medical insurance is taken on 1st of October 2015 for 1 year and the premium paid is Rs. 12000 valid till september 2016. So the dedcution under 80D for the FY 2015-16 & AY 2016-17, dedcuction allowable is RS 12000 or Rs. 6000 i.e from October 2015 to March 2016.   Also, if the medical insurance is provided by the employer, is there any deviation int he calculation of deduction under 80D.   Thanks in advance..

The amout paid and in which year financial Year is important.

it does not matter  whether policy spills over the next FY.

Suppose you pay on 28 feb 2015. then the deduction is valid for AY 2015-16 [fy 2014-15].Even though policy is valid till 27 feb 2016.

 

 

Thanks for the clarification
