Hi,

 

The expense incurred for medical treatment is not allowed as deduction unless the expenditure is for a senior citizen (you / spouse / parents). However, expense incurred for preventive health check-up of self, spouse and children is allowed as deduction upto INR 5K within the overall limit of 25K.

For whom did you incurr such expense?

If it is for senior citizens i.e. for you or your parents you might claim it as expense otherwise not.
