One of the most important investments for anyone to make to assure complete security during medical emergencies is health insurance and they offer attractive tax benefits too. So, is health insurance tax deductible?
It is, indeed! Tax advantages are provided on the premium amount paid for health insurance. According to Section 80D of the Indian Income Tax Act, the cost of your health insurance is tax deductible.
