Calculation Under Section 80D
Calculation Under Section 80D
People love the people near them and care about them. And for that reason, people mostly take the medical insurance for the loved ones to keep them more safe and secure. The medical insurance can cover the cost of the expenses incurred on the treatment of the key person. For the medical insurance, the person has to pay the premium on the yearly basis. The government understand these sentiments of the public and allow them for the deduction for the expenses. The calculation under this section is pretty much confusing for the normal taxpayers. Under this section, the taxpayer can claim the deduction for the expenses occurred on the Self, Spouse Children, and Parents. There are some further conditions for the availing of the deductions as discussed under section 80D.
Let us discuss the Calculation Under Section 80D with the help of some examples:
