Hello,

Mr. X wants to claim deduction under section 80C for the LIC Premium paid for his family.

Mr.X - Premium Rs. 2507 (Sum Assured Rs. 50000)

Mrs X - Premium Rs. 23150 (Paid for 3 Years)( Sum Assured Rs. 100000)

Both Polices taken before 31-03-2012

Lic premium paid for yourself your wife and your children are eligible for deduction under 80c. So total can be 2507 plus 23150 pro rata for 1 year. okies ?

But only 20% of sum assured if policy date is before 31-3-2012

10% of the sum assured if policy date is after 1-4-2012

can be considered right?

if yes then the celing limit will be applied policy wise or overall?

Ceiling limit is policy wise...10% will be checked for every single policy alone

Mr.X 2507 is eligible. Mrs. X Rs. 20000. But if policy taken before 01.04.2003 then 23150. Another disadvantage on Mrs. X policy that policy payments will not be exempted u/s 10(10D).

As both the policy was taken before 1.4.12 deduction for mr x = 20% of 500000 or 2507 whichever is lowre I.e 2507 And for mrs x= 20% of 1000000 or 23150 whichever is lower I.e 20000
