Hi Saurav,
Sorry.. please see correct answer here..
Your auditor is right, for mediclaim deduction premium should be paid by any mode other than Cash. Means if insurance premium is paid by cash then deduction is NOT available.
Thanks,
Shobhit

But during the course of an audit, i found that previous auditor has disallowed the deduction related to medi claim policy as it was paid in cash.
