you should show that as expenses
because deduction under section 80c and 80d is only allowed on insurance for yourself or family members

1) If the policy is yours:-

Premium paid on insurance policy is not your expenses it's your asset.

2) If the policy is not yours. it's your labour's and you paid the premium.

In this case it become your expenses because this policy is not yours and you don't get this amount.

3) Premium paid for labour in lic & Mediclaim is not allowable to take the deduction benefit U/s 80C and 80D.

 

Hi,

Thanks for your Valuable Reply.

I would like to add some more Query in your answer.

1. Company is Propritorship. and they have done Mediclaim for Labour. and same They have did group Insurance. as term insurance basis.

now this is investment or Expenses.

 

ecpenses
debit to head. labour insurance whether this is medical or term insurance

premium paid for labour is your expenses whether it is Sole proprietorship or other than Sole proprietorship.

It is a business expenditure.
And no deduction can be taken u/s 80C n 80D because it can only be claimed for self or family members.

Term insurance is primarily a protection tool rather than an investment. It is an expense that ensures your family’s financial security in your absence, offering a high sum assured at a nominal premium. Unlike investment-based insurance products, term plans do not provide maturity benefits but focus on fulfilling your dependents’ financial needs, such as covering debts, education costs, or daily living expenses.
