Hi,
I have two questions :
1. If my father is a senior citizen, can I avail more exemption on medical insurance?
2. What is meant cashless transaction?
Thanks in Advance.

HI VALLI,
MEDICAL ALLOWANCE IS ALWAYS TAXABLE. BUT REIMBURSEMENT OF MEDICAL EXPENDITURE UPTO RS.15000 IS EXEMPT. THUS, IF CO. IS GIVING FIXED MONTHLY ALLOWANCES THEN IT WOULD ALWAYS BE TAXABLE AND NO EXEMPTION COULD BE CLAIMED THEREFROM.
REGARDS,
MANOJ

Medical Allowance is taxable but by virtue of section 17 (2) medical reimbursement to employee upto Rs. 15000/- p.a. is expempted in the hand of employee. This is treated as Exemted Perquisites.
