Whether the maturity amount received for a life insurance policy (policy term 7 years; sum assured Rs.2.5 lakhs; premium paid Rs.4.2 lakhs @ Rs.60000/- p.a.; maturity amount Rs.4.36 lakhs)qualifies for exemption under Sec. 10(d) of IT Act? If NOT, what is the tax payable on the maturity amount, whether any concessional rate or at normal rate? Pl clarify. Thanks.

Thanks. I learn that certain conditions need to be fulfilled for getting exemption under Sec 10(d). Whether the facts mentioned in my mail above fulfill the conditions required for exemption or not is the query. Pl clarify on this. Thanks.
