Section 80d Medical Insurance | Niva Bupa
Investing in health insurance is a wise decision as it serves as a safety net during medical emergencies. Still, medical insurance penetration in India is low. The government recognises this and strives to improve the awareness and adoption of insurance. One of the tools used by the government to achieve this is section 80D medical insurance of the Income Tax Act 1956. It offers a tax deduction for medical insurance premiums, encouraging taxpayers to buy health insurance.
