An Individual Assessee (subject to Tax Audit) has taken loan from L.I.C against his Policy. He has not been paying interest over the loan, the loan principal and interest will be subtracted from the policy proceeds when it matures. My query is whether the interest will be allowed on accrual basis or disallowed u/s 43B. Whether L.I.C. is a financial institution for the purpose of aforesaid section?
