Generally, the proceeds on maturity or upon surrender of the policy are tax-exempt under Section 10 (10D).
In case the proceeds are taxable, LIC will deduct 2% TDS from the maturity amount. The provision will not be applicable in cases where the proceeds from a life policy in a year are less than 1 lakh.
No need to invest in 3 year lock in periof of ELSS, unless you want to save tax u/s. 80C. For more options take advice of any investment expert.
