Neurological diseases are very important causes of prolonged morbidity and disability leading to profound financial loss.

Materials and Methods.
315 PWE selected by systematic random sampling and their caregivers were interviewed with the predesigned, pretested semistructured proforma.
Subsequently data were compiled and analyzed using SPSS 18.0 software.
Results and Conclusion.
Majority of the study population were in the age group of 16–30 years.
Majority belonged to classes IV and V of Prasad socioeconomic status scale.
Average total expenditure per month for treatment of epilepsy was 219 INR, mainly contributed by drugs, travel, investigations, and so forth.
Rural population was having higher treatment expenditure for epilepsy specially for travel and food and lodging in order to get epilepsy treatment.
