According to Section 80D of the Income Tax Act, Senior Citizens may avail a higher deduction of up to ₹ 50,000 for payment of premium towards medical insurance policy. The limit is ₹ 25,000 in case of Non-Senior Citizens.

Further Section 80DDB of the Income Tax Act allows tax deduction on expenses incurred by an individual on himself or a dependent towards the treatment of specific diseases as stated in the act. The maximum deduction amount in case of a senior citizen is ₹ 1 lakh (₹ 40,000 for Non-Senior Citizen taxpayers).
