          Sir I received ₹6.2 Lac as claim reimbursement from my health insurance provider. How can I avail tax-exemption on that anount and which ITR form and under which section can I file the return. 

 

My major income (approx. ₹4L) is from private tution (fully Cash based) but I received arrear Salary of ₹26K once for the month of April 2023. After that I took up private tution and therefore, self-employed.

 

I also paid health premium of ₹57K and earned interest above ₹10K

 

Please advise the correct ITR Form and section to file. Shall I Show my Tution Income as incone from other sources or Profession. Please bear in mind that I maintain no books and those transactions are in cash. 

 

Thanks in advance!
