if the amount received from LIC before 5 years (i.e. pre-withdraw) , it is taxable.

otherwise not.

Dear Vineet,

The answer is NO it is not taxable under income tax.

It is exempt u/s10 (10D)

Under the provisions of section 10(10D) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, Maturity/Death claims proceeds of life insurance policy, including the sum allocated by way of bonus on such policy is exempted from income-tax. However any sum (not including the premium paid by the assessee) received under an insurance policy issued on or after the 1st day of April, 2003 in respect of which the premium payable for any of the years during the term of the policy exceeds 20% of the actual capital sum assured will no longer be exempted under this section.

LIC maturity proceeds are simply does not consist part of income, its exempted u/s 10(10D), including survival benefits and death claims.

 

However commuted annuity under jeevan dhara, jeevan akhay (pension plans)and keyman insurence has its own set of exemption norms, please refer the polcy doeuments for actual exemption terms and quantam.

Agree with Rajesh.....

No,Maturity amount is not taxable...

Because whatever amount comes at maturity by LIC is totally exempted...

 you have to look into the premiums payment and any claim filed on the premiums, in  common words entire proceeds is taxable in the year of receipt.  if sec 10 is not applicable 

For LIC Maturity under what Should be repoted as Exampted Income -

Total Maturity Value  

or

Total Maturity Value minus Amount Paid as Premium.

Thanks

Sir, 

Under which head of Income the amount received on maturity of LIC, which is not exempt under section -10(10D), will be computed and how tax would be computed on the same.

Thanks in advance
