Your doubt is not clear to me. Are you asking that can the assessee claim deduction u/s 80C if he pays the premium from the loan amount? If yes, then the answer is yes. An assessee can claim deduction u/s 80C because there is no condition like the amount must be paid out of income chargeable to tax or something like that

as per Section 80 C ; insurance shall include a policy of insurance on the life of an individual or the spouse or the child..

your question is not clear..normally we claim any life insurance policy premiums paid subject to conditions in 80C.

 

Deduction u/s.80C is available in your case...A life insurance policy is a life insurance policy and exists purely as a separate contract.

Yes, the assessee may claim deduction u/s 80C. This is more like a reducing term plan wherein the starting few years the sum assured is high and so is the premium, but as the years go by, the sum assured gets reduced along with the premium. It is sort of a collateral for the bank.

I thik many of us has not understood the ques ...he is asking that bank has asked him for the insurance of the property for which he has taken loan...as they generally ask...so whether insurance premium paid for soch insurance can be deducted under 80c...... Acc to me no as sec 80 c only talks about life insurance and not GIC

Yes ..I agree with Mr.Tarun Pandey

In certain cases, the bank may ask for an insurance policy on the life of the applicant, because if the applicant or borrower passes away, severe financial crisis befalls on the dependents of the borrower, and to mitigate the risk, bank ask for the insurance policy on the life of the applicant / borrower, so that in the even of the applicant passes away, the insurance claim proceeds can go to the bank reducing the pressure on the dependents. 

Wait for more replies.

Dear Sir

I think  you can not  claim 80c against paid to loan insurance. Befor you see insurance document if its is show that 80 c Deduction is available then you can claim. 

thanks
