Tax Saver Health Checkup (Section 80D)

Under Section 80D of the Income Tax Act, you can claim a deduction of up to Rs 5,000 per financial year on preventive health checkup expenses. This is a sub-limit within the overall Section 80D deduction for health insurance premiums (Rs 25,000 for individuals under 60, Rs 50,000 for senior citizens).
