09 January 2020I and my wife are senior citizens. I have paid Rs. 17237 towards Mediclaim , Rs. 32403 towards medicines and Rs. 5000 for diagnostic tests thus totaling Rs. 54640. Is not all this admissible under Section 80 D ? The IT department says only Rs. 50000 is admissible.

Yes, the deduction would be limited to Rs. 50,000/- only. Section 80D specifies that the limit is inclusive of medical expenditure
