My husband and I are going through some pregnancy treatments, and the expenses are adding up. I was wondering if these pregnancy-related medical expenses can be claimed on our taxes? Any guidance would be helpful.

I am also wondering about this because my delivery is in a few months and bills are adding up. Do let me know if you find out how to claim it!

Haha with twins, my delivery bill was huge! You can claim some tax benefits on maternity insurance premium under section 80D, but check with your CA for the exact rules.

Under Section 80D, you can get some deductions for preventive health checkups and insurance premiums. Keep all your hospital bills handy and consult your CA before filing.

I think you can claim some parts under health insurance tax benefits, but do check with a tax expert to be sure.

I kept every single receipt from my scans and medicines thinking I could claim them! Actually, only health insurance premiums and some specific checkups are tax-deductible, but please consult a professional so you don't miss anything.
