Maximize your tax savings under Section 80D. Calculate deductions for health insurance for self, spouse, children, and senior citizen parents.
Real-World Scenarios
₹25k for self/family + ₹50k for senior citizen parents. This reduces your taxable income by ₹75k, saving ₹23,400 in tax (31.2% slab).
Even if you don₹t have insurance, you can claim ₹5,000 for regular health checkups. This is part of the total ₹25k/50k limit.
Professional Strategy Insights
- The Double Benefit: 80D is independent of 80C (life insurance/PPF). You can save ₹1.5L in 80C and AN ADDITIONAL ₹25k-1L in 80D.
- Parents Above 60: If your parents are senior citizens, the deduction limit is ₹50,000. If you are also 60+, the total combined limit across two families can reach ₹1,00,000.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I claim 80D in the New Tax Regime?
No. Section 80D (health insurance) is only available in the Old Tax Regime. The New Regime offers zero deductions beyond standard deduction.
Is cash payment allowed for 80D?
Only for preventive health checkups (up to ₹5k). Main insurance premiums must be paid via digital modes (CC, DC, UPI, Net Banking) to qualify.
