Dear All,

My father age 63 year not having medical insurance. As per Finance act 2018 can he be eligibe to claim medical expenditure up to Rs 50000 under section 80D? Is it mandatory that expenditure to be paid by card/ online transfer? If he is paying by cash, can he eligible to claim that amount i.e, upto Rs 50000? Whether amt
of Rs 5000 towards preventive health checkup is included in Rs 50000 or excluded?

Thanks and Regard
Preeti
