19 August 2014 you are confusing between the payment of premium and taxation of redemption proceeds. The expense shall remain business expenses (as tushar has said) whereas any proceeds from keyman insurance policy shall be taxed in director's tax return as profit in lieu of salary under "salaries" head.
