Medical Allowance Calculator

No — this exemption is specific to the old tax regime. If you've opted for the new tax regime, this particular exemption does not apply, though the new regime has its own different set of concessions.

Under the old regime's medical reimbursement rules, employers typically require actual medical bills as proof before treating the allowance as exempt — without bills, the amount may be treated as taxable.

Any medical allowance received beyond the exemption cap is added to your taxable salary income and taxed at your applicable slab rate.

This calculator is specifically about the reimbursement-style medical allowance exemption tied to actual medical expenses — it's separate from employer-paid group health insurance premiums, which are typically handled under different tax rules.
