One of such benefits is that it can help you save tax. Read on to find out tax benefits of health insurance.

  • An assessee can claim a deduction up to Rs. 30,000 on taxable income, if the parents of the assessee are senior citizens. Thus, a person can claim deductions of up to Rs. 55,000 if the individual is below 60 years of age while either of the parent is above 60 years of age.
  • For Health Insurance premium paid for parents, further deductions up to Rs 60,000 can be claimed. If the individual as well as parents are senior citizens (above 60 years of age).
