01 March 2013 The premium paid on effecting a Life Insurance Policy would be allowed as deduction u/s 80C.

To my knowledge,there is nothing which could prevent you from claiming the said deduction on Polstal Life Insurance Policy.

Yes Agree with Suraj..

S/80C states as....to effect or to keep in force an insurance on the life of persons...

so in now way it states that it doesnt cover Ins. of rural bank. So it is eligible!!

Thanks!!
