28 April 2008 I wish to invest in LIC Fortune Plus Unit Linked Endowment Plan. Can I claim the premium paid as deduction u/s 80C.

Is there any restriction from tax point of view on I opting out of the scheme any time after three years

29 April 2008 AS APPLICABLE TO ALL 80 C DEDUCTIONS,THERE IS NO BAR IN CLAIMING THE EXEMPTION IN 80 C FOR LIC UNIT LINKED END. PLAN PREMIUM.
AGAIN AS APPLICABLE TO ALL 80 C DEDUCTIONS , IF ONE WITHDRAWS THE INVESTED AMOUNT ITSELF LATER IN ANY WAY, THE PAST DEDUCTIONS ALLOWED WILL BE ADDED AS INCOME.
