if it's exempted u/s 10(10d). yes it will be exempted in the hands of nominee too. but not all policies are exempted. only those where the premium amount is less than 10% of sum assured are covered under this section.
please correct me if the above solution has an alternative view.

Dear Sir,

Please correct Me if any wrong or incorrect information provided by me

If the query is relating to maturity amount received from LIC is exempt under section 10(10D) as follows:

Policy Issued Before 01/04/2003 :- Fully Exempt including Bonus.

Policy Issued Between 01/04/2003 and 31.03.2012 :- Fully Exempt including Bonus ( But Condition is that premium of policy cannot be exceed "20% of Sum Assured".

Policy issued on or after 01/04/2012 but Before 01/04/2013 :- Fully Exempt including Bonus (But Condition is that premium of Policy cannot be exceed "10% of Sum Assured".

Policy Issued on or after 01/04/2013 :- Same as above.

Please find when the policy is issued and find the premium is within the limit of Sum Assured.

if this is within the limit then no sum is taxable

Except

1) In Case of amount received from an Insurance Policy taken for disabled person under Section 80DD

2) In Case of Amount received under a keyman insurance Policy
