How To Save Tax With Health Insurance?
Health insurance has covered you for taxes as well!
Yes, that's correct. Besides providing financial protection against hospitalisation costs, a health insurance policy also offers tax advantages. Section 80D of the Income Tax Act of 1961 allows you to claim tax deductions on the health insurance premiums you pay every year. And, the deductions can be availed for health insurance cover bought for yourself, your spouse, dependent children, and your parents.
But, how much tax deduction can you claim under Section 80D?
Let’s find out!

Some of my precious policies done thru other agencies are still running on SMC’s advice. That is a strong testimony to their customer-centric approach. I am glad to be associated with SMC and strongly recommend their services to all concerned. Wishing the very best to Team SMC !Show More

We were fortunate enough to have selected SMC as our Health Insurance Broker for they have been very helpful in resolving our queries related to health insurance. I would like to cite two examples where SMC's role has been very crucial. One was when payment for cashless hospitalization was not coming through as the insurance company was taking undue longer time to approve the Hospital Bill. It was then I talked to Neha and it was she who through her contacts in the Insurance co. facilitated and expedited the approval for payment of hospital bill. Second was very recently when the Insurance co. had proposed a top up "Enhancer" policy for our existing policy. When I talked to Neha she immediately told me not to take this policy being offered without any medical test as it will not be beneficial to us and may create problem later on account of recent hospitalization. If I had I not consulted Neha, I would have into a big trouble with the insurance co. These two instances speak very high of sincere advice and timely help rendered by the SMC Staff, Ms. Neha Khanna which helped us a lot in time of need.Show More
