However, this rule does not apply to following amounts:
* Sum received under Section 80DD(3).
* Any sum received under a Keyman Insurance Policy.
* Any sum received other than as death benefit under an insurance policy which has been issued on or after April 1, 2003, and if the premium paid in any of the years during the term of the policy is more than 20% of the sum assured.

I am having the LIC policy where my premium is 100450 Rs and Sum assured in 500000 Rs..They will pay back around 6 lakhs to me in 2011 and my Jeevan Anand policy 1st premium is on Sep 2005..

Do I have to shell out lot of tax for the year 2011....Kindly let me know the details. Is there any alteration i can do to avoid tax?

Thanks

Please post your queries here in the forum. Don't PM me.

As per Sec 10(10D) -
20% limit: If the amount of premium paid in a financial year for a policy is in excess of 20% of the actual capital sum assured, then deduction will be allowed only for premiums upto 20% of the sum assured.
So as specified by you the premium upto Rs.100000/- would be exempt, only Rs. 450 balance is with you without deduction. This is not a big amount.

Hope this will help you.
