Yes, but only under the old tax regime (the default new regime allows no deduction for life insurance premium), and for policies issued after 1 April 2012 the premium qualifies only up to 10% of the sum assured; the same deduction continues for the old regime under the Income-tax Act 2025 from 1 April 2026.
