Medical Reimbursements Can be given against bills or without bills does not matter. Some companies give it monthly, some quarterly, half yearly or yearly also. Some companies give it only against medical bills, some do not ask for bills, rather bills are only demanded for Final Tax Computation at the end of the year. No thumb rule about it. Preferred to pay monthly, without bills and ask bills as per your wish, quarterly, half yearly or at the end of the year. Do not choose to give it against bills only, there is no rule for the same…It only makes salary processing a cumbersome process.
