02 February 2011Dear All,
I need a small clarification. One of our employee incurred his wife's maternity expenses during the financial year. He wants to reimburse that amount. Is there any tax exemption for reimbursement of maternity expenses? If so, what is the limit ? Please give suggestion with IT sections ? It's very urgent. Please help me.
Regards

Where an Indian resident incurs any expenditure for the medical treatment of specified disease or ailment for himself or a dependent relative, he is allowed a deduction of an amount actually incurred subject to maximum of Rs. 40,000/-. If he or any dependent relative is senior citizen, the deduction can go upto Rs. 60,000. The amount of deduction is to be determined after reducing the amount received under medical insurance (Sec. 80DDB).
unfortunately maternity is not covered u/s 11DD for the purpose. hence fully taxable
