Dear Sir,

An NRI having permanent residence of Canada also having Canadian Passport taken a Life Insurance Policy from State Bank of India many years ago.

Now said Policy get matured and Proceeds were paid by SBI after deducting TDS @ 30% u/s 195 on full policy amount.

Whether said deduction is correct ??

Can NRI file his Income Tax return & claim exemption u/s 10 (10D) so that TDS deducted will be claim as Refund ??

Please advise.

Thanking You in Advance.
