INCOME TAX ON MEDICAL BILLS FROM PENSIONERS
BSNL Corporate Office has clarified that Income tax should be deducted from BSNL pensioners on account of medical claims only when actual payment is made. AIBSNLPWA and many other organizations had demanded that Income tax should not be deducted on medical bills as they are not income, but, only reimbursement of expenditure already incurred. The request is not accepted. Rather, many Circles were deducting the tax when the bills are uploaded in SAP, even without paying the amount.This wrong practice is rectified now.The Corporate Order is given below.
