I THING THEY BOTH ARE CONFLICTING ON ABOVE POINT
u/s 80d
1) For self,spouse,dependent children- 15,000/- limit inclusive of preventive health check-ups.i.e if the are senior citizens limit rs 20,000/-
2) For parents 15,000/-i.ee,located outside india & not senior citizens.if senior citizens 20,000/- limit inclusive of preventive health check-ups.
3) the amount paid on account of preventive health check-up of the assesse or his family
a) total amount paid as above or
b) rs 5,000/- whichever is lower.
However,the said deduction of rs 5,000/- is with in the overall limit of 15,000/- or 20,000/- as the case may be.
4) the amount paid on account of preventive health check-up of the parents of the assessee-
a) total amount paid or
b) rs 5,000/- whichever is lower.
However,the said deduction of rs 5,000/- is with in the overall limit of 15,000/- or 20,000/- as the case may be. &
FINALLY THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF DEDUCTION ON ACCOUNT OF PREVENTIVE HEALTH CHECK UPS OF THE ASSESSEE OR HIS FAMILY OR PARENTS OF THE ASSESSEE CANNOT EXCEED RS 5,000/-
i hope so now u get clarity.
Answer to 10 th question in R.T.P
U/S 80D individual/spouse/dependent children
Paid rs 17,000/- & rs 2,000/- for health check ups within the normal limit of rs 20,000/- i.eee the limit is rs 20,000/- b,coz the assessee is senior citizen.
2) for parents health check ups paid rs 4,000/- but eligible deduction is rs 3,000/- only
B,COZ THE OVER ALL LIMIT SHOULD NOT EXCEED RS 5,000/- EVENTHOUH HERE RS 4,000/- PAID HEALTH CHECK UP FOR PARENTS IS WITHIN THE NORMAL LIMITS OF RS 15,000/- OR 20,000/-BUT HERE U/S 80D OVERALL LIMIT FOR CHECK UPS SHOULD NOT EXCEED RS 5,000/- TOGETHER WITH THE LIMIT OF INDIVIDUAL ASSESSEE OR SPOUSE OR DEPENDENT CHILDRENS OR PARENTS OF THE ASSESSEE.
