Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether the service tax paid on an insurance premium is eligible for deduction under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act. The consensus is that the full amount paid to the insurer, including both the premium and any applicable service tax, should be considered for the 80C deduction. Therefore, the total payment made to the LIC is eligible for relief.
