Income tax relief: Medical cost doubles in 5 years, will Budget 2024 increase Section 80D limit for health insurance?

Budget 2024: The cost of treatment for common ailments that require hospitalisation has more than doubled in five years. A Rs-10-lakh health insurance, which could cover a family of three to five years back, is not adequate to take care of the medical needs now. The tax deduction limit of Rs 25,000 will not typically cover the premium of a health insurance cover of Rs 20 lakh for a family of two or more today. The insurance industry wants Budget 2024 to hike the limit of Section 80D. This move will enhance affordability and motivate individuals to prioritise their family’s health. Know what insurance industry wants from Finance Minister Niramala Sitharaman in Budget 2024.
