Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the taxability of matured LIC policy amounts. Generally, maturity proceeds and bonuses are tax-exempt under Section 10(10D) if premiums paid are within specific limits (10% for policies post-April 2012, 20% for pre-April 2012). If premiums exceed these thresholds, the taxable amount is the maturity value minus total premiums paid, treated as income from other sources.

Hi,

When the premium paid on the policy does not exceed 10% of the sum assured for policies issued after 1 April 2012 and 20% of sum assured for policies issued before 1 April 2012– any amount received on maturity of a life insurance policy or amount received as bonus is fully exempt from Income Tax under Section 10(10D)

When the Annual premium paid on the policy does not exceed 10% of the sum assured for policies issued after 1 April 2012 and 20% of sum assured for policies issued before 1 April 2012– any amount received on maturity of a life insurance policy or amount received as bonus is fully exempt from Income Tax under Section 10(10D)

and if Annual Premium paid on the policy exceed the 10%,/ 20% as the case may be, than (Maturity value less all Premium Paid) is taxable as income from other sources.
Is maturity value = sum assured plus bonus
