FAQ :
The Group of Ministers (GoM) has proposed exempting Goods and Services Tax (GST) on term life insurance premiums and health insurance premiums paid by senior citizens.
For individuals other than senior citizens, GST exemption is recommended for health insurance premiums with coverage up to ₹5 lakh. Premiums for coverage exceeding ₹5 lakh will still attract an 18% GST.
There are discussions around completely waiving GST on all health insurance premiums paid by senior citizens, regardless of the coverage amount.
Currently, life insurance premiums for term policies and family floater policies attract an 18% GST.
The final decision regarding these proposals will be made by the GST Council.
The GoM is expected to submit its findings and recommendations by the end of October.
