Missing out on applicable investments/expenses without knowing its impact is a common mistake. For example, details of landlord (PAN, Address) not provided for rent paid in excess of Rs1 lakhs per annum will force the employer not consider the deduction for HRA, or if you have missed out school fees of your children and the other 80C qualifying amount is less than Rs1.50 lakhs.
But point to note is, you can still claim those that you miss out while filing the ITR and claim refund, if any.

How can employers verify supporting documents submitted by the employees?

This question is not clear – I am assuming that you are asking the process in which employer verifies supporting documents.
If that is the case, the employer has to ensure that the supporting documents provide clear details of the amounts, the dates of investments (that it relates the relevant FY), the details of other party to whom payments were made by the employee (like landlord name, PAN, address for Rent paid > Rs1 lakh p.a.), etc.

Why is tax declaration important?

To ensure that the TDS is properly computed and deducted by the employer!
Else, higher tax maybe deducted and you will have to wait well after the year end to claim the refund by filing the ITR, which is normally around 31 July.

Mediclaim for Self/ Spouse/ Children- Max INR 25,000 / 50,000 for senior citizen + Additional 25000/50000 in case paid on behalf of parents/for senior citizen. Medical Bills for health checkup up to INR 5000.
Does the above pertain to only mediclaim (Premium receipts) or can the employee submit medical bills upto Rs 25,000 ?
@CAAPFIT Sir if you can help to answer this query?

Mainly the Form 16 and Form 16A issued by the tax deductor for straightforward cases (involving just salaries, interest, dividends etc).
Also, all of this information is also available in Form 26AS, the Annual Information Statement (AIS) and Taxpayers Information Statement (TIS) which are available on the Taxpayers page (PAN) on the Income Tax portal.
If the taxpayer has additional types of income, then your tax expert/CA will verify more details beyond the above forms, including your bank account statement, Loan statement, shares trading reports received from your broker, asset transfer documentation (for capital gains on properties), any business/profession income details and other income details as well as various investment/deduction details.

It is possible that he is renting a house in one city where he works and has a home loan in another city/town. If he is actually paying Rent, he is eligible to claim the same. In addition he can claim interest on loan taken for self occupied house property, if the construction is completed.
For Pre-EMI interest deductions, there is a separate provision for this, where you can claim it equally over the 5 years after completion of construction.
Pls consult your CA/tax expert by giving him the full details of the loan and construction.

No medical bills in addition to the permitted mediclaim limit - under section 80D. There are other provisions under section 80 DDB which allow deductions on specific illnesses (neurological, malignant cancers etc) - you can get more info on the income tax portal.

This comes under exempt perquisites, for training and further education of the employee incurred by the employer, which are treated as essential requirements of the employment for the benefit of the employer (improving skillsets of the employees), as long as the policy is to provide the same across the board and not for only a few selected employees.
