Is the maturity proceeds of insurance policy taxable

306 views 3 replies

my HDFC insurance policy (SAMPURN SAMRIDHI DEATH BENEFIT) matured on 7/7/2016, the maturity proceed was 2,51,269, tax deducted 2513/-.

The premium paid was 50,000 for 5 years. while filing ITR someone told me that the proceed is taxable ? 

But i heard that life insurance proceeds are exempt from tax.

Kindly clarify whether it is taxable or not, if yes how much?

Since your premium exceeds 10 percent or 20 percent of sun assured the entire proceeds from life insurance is taxable.
In these cases exemption is available for claim received on death of the policy holder
yes it is taxable
