Assuming the policy was taken after 1st April 2012, the yearly premium paid Rs. 50,000/- does not exceed 10% of sum assured 5 lakhs, hence it is covered u/s. 10(10D) of IT act; thus the maturity amount will be tax exempt. 2. Maturity amount of Rs. 3.20 lakhs will not alter the tax-ability criteria of the policy.
