An employee may sometimes be given treatment at a private hospital and not necessarily at a hospital maintained by the Government. Such a hospital is normally treated as a private hospital. If such a private hospital is approved by the Chief commissioner of Income Tax, with regard to the prescribed guidelines for the purposes of medical treatment, any sum paid by the employer in respect to any expenditure actually incurred by the employee on his medical treatment or treatment of any member of his family is completely exempt from income tax under clause (ii) of Section 17 (2) of the I.T.Act. Hence, proper planning should be adopted for getting an employee or a member of his family treated at a private hospital which is approved by the Chief Commissioner for the purpose of such medical treatment by way of attaching a certificate with the IT Return from the hospital specifying the disease and the amount paid to the hospital. |
