Please check the policy issue date and the premium you have paid. When the premium paid on a policy exceeds 10% of the sum assured for policies issued after 1 April 2012, and 20% of the sum assured for policies issued before 1 April 2012, any amount received on maturity of a life insurance policy is fully taxable. You will have to disclose the amount received under the head 'income from other sources' and pay tax according to your income tax slab.
