Under Section 80C, the premiums paid towards life insurance
policies, including LIC policies, are eligible for a tax deduction. The maximum
deduction allowed under this section is Rs. 1.5 lakh per financial year. This
deduction is available for the policyholder, their spouse, or any child's
policy.
However, there is a condition related to the premium payment
to claim the deduction. For policies issued on or after April 1, 2012, the
premium paid should not exceed 10% of the sum assured to be eligible for the
tax deduction. For policies issued on or before March 31, 2012, the premium
should not exceed 20% of the sum assured.
It's important to note that the total deduction under
Section 80C is capped at Rs. 1.5 lakh, and if you have other investments or
expenses eligible for deduction under this section, the combined deduction
cannot exceed the maximum limit.
Additionally, Section 80C also covers other investments and
expenses, such as Provident Fund (PF) contributions, Equity-Linked Saving
Schemes (ELSS), National Savings Certificate (NSC), Public Provident Fund
(PPF), and more.
As tax laws can change, it is always advisable to verify the
latest tax rules and consult with a tax professional or LIC representative to
understand the specific tax benefits applicable to your LIC policy and its
impact on your tax planning.
