08 June 2011 I have been regularly paying during the month of May a sum of Rs.20,000/- starting from the year May 2007 on an yearly basis. I had encashed the said policy on
30.03.2011 and the total amount received as about 91000/-. I had claimed the payment under section 802C till last year. Please let me know the taxability of the payments and the additoinal Rs.11000/- Please explain in detail

Thanks in advance

08 June 2011 See you were paying and claiming the deduction is very different matter. You need to look up that whether the policy was a life insurance policy or not...as life insurance policy is usually of 15 years or such terms and and least also of 5 years....but if the policy is life insurance policy and amount that you have received has been received on maturity then the same is fully tax free....
