Life Insurance Premiums Deduction U/s 80C
Any amount that you pay towards life insurance premium for yourself, your spouse or your children can be included in section 80C deduction.
If you are paying premium for more than one insurance policy, all the premiums can be included. Besides this, investments in unit-linked insurance plans (ULIPs) that offer life insurance with benefits of equity investments are also eligible for deduction under Section 80C.
