TDS of Rs 3900 is reflected in 26AS form for a receipt of Rs 195000 from Life Insurance Corporation of India. Normally LIC Maturity proceeds are exempt u/s 10(10D). Is this receipt of Rs 195000 tax free or taxable? If yes, then what are the conditions applicable for such taxability?

Dear Anonymous,
Taxability of lic depends upon the type of plan. if premium paid is more than 10% of sum assured then the amount received on maturity is taxable. verify the policy details. you'll hopefully find your answer in it.
