My parents are both senior citizens and I haven not bought any medical insurance for them but I spends a good amount every year for their medical expenses and health check-ups. These expenses are however not hospital bills or hospitalisation expenses. These include regular medicines bought from Pharmacy and normal lab-test like blood-test, X-ray etc done every year. My question is - Can I still show these expenses under "Medical Expenses" and "Preventive Health Checkup" sections of Schedule 80D of ITR2, even though they are not hospital bills or hospitalisation expenses? Thanks for your advise in advance.
