27 March 2012 Sir but when I inquired in the customer care centre of one of the ulips they said that if you terminate the policy in between then the amount received will be taxable. the amount that you get after maturity is tax free.

I want to terminate the policy in between but I am confused whether the proceeds will be taxable or not? Please explain.
