Dear Expert, I collect medical bill from my staff and pay them medical reimbursement. As per law 15000/- p.a. is exempted but are there any rules which say it has to be given every month. Cant it be paid yearly ? if i receive a single bill upto 15000/- in a year is it exempted and can i pay at once ? Please guide.. Thanks & Regards Ami

Yes you can do it infact a medical allowance is taxable whereas reimbursement of expenditure upto 15000 PA is fully exempt under IT laws

The medical reimbursement is exempted provided it is supported by relevent bills as proof. The payment can be paid monthly or annually.
