    • Many people mistake insurance as offering tax benefits only under Section 80C, unaware that it can also offer additional benefits under Section 80D. Premiums paid up to ₹25,000 for health insurance covers taken for self, spouse and dependent children are exempt from tax under Section 80D. An additional exemption of ₹25,000 is available for premiums paid on covers for dependent parents. This amount goes up to ₹50,000 in case parents are senior citizens. Hence, the cumulative exemption can go up to ₹75,000 when premiums are paid for self and senior citizen parents. This translates to a tax saving of ₹23,400 at a tax rate of 31.2%
