if the premium payable in every year less than 10% of the actual sum assured, then the policy proceeds would be exempted in the hands of the insured section 10(10D).
in case of death of the insured, where his nominees receive the policy proceeds the same shall be tax free in the hands of the nominee(s) even if premium paid in any year crossed the prescribed percentage of sum assured.
