Thanks

Section 10(10D) exempts a "life" insurance policy(as posted above) - does it include other schemes like Pension Scheme of LIC (this was tested in the PCC exams in Nov.)??

Now my post does't answer the question but i guess it atleast helps in answering the question better. Lookin forward to an answer??
