Dear sir /Madam
I know that the surrender value received from life insurance policy is exempt u/s 10(10D) if the premium paid is below the prescribed limit. My query is that the premium paid is above the specified limit and i get the surrender value after deducting TDS in FY 2015 - 16 , whether the entire receipt is taxable or the difference amount( ie surrender value-total premium paid) is taxable?
