15 June 2016 My client surrendered the HDFC Life insurance policy after remitting 4 years(it was 10 year policy started in 2011, yearly premium Rs 75000). The HDFC deducted TDS on this surrender value. My question is:
1. how can we claim this amount as refund
2. where to show the surrender value in the income tax return

Pls reply

16 June 2016 194DA applicable when you get amount exceeds Rs. 1 lacs in a year, and this amount will taxable if you premium amount will fall in below condition.
Any policy where premium in any year is more than 20% of the sum insured if it were bought after 1st
April 2003 but before 31st April 2012 or is more than 10% of the sum insured if it were bought after 1st April 2012.

if your premium is 20% of sum assured then your amount will include in income and you have to pay the tax. otherwise your amount will exempt, and you get the refund of TDS.
