    I was incurred 10+ lakh for COVID Treatment from my pocket using Credit card, taking loans from relatives n friends as Hospital does not comes under insurance coverage and my company covered 3lakh basic coverage and 5lakh additional covid coverage. The insurance company while reimbursing, deducted COPAY against the reimbursement amount and paid me around 7.3 lak (out of 8 lak), out of 7.3lak 4.3 lak was treated as income and deducted tax 1.5 lak. Is the company action is right! as per Income tax authority confirms upto 10 laks covid related expenses is free from tax. confirm ASAP, so that I can approach my company to rework on my pay
