80c deduction

Tax planning 542 views 1 replies

80C - LIC Annutity Plan, 10% of sum assured is only allowable deduction in respect of FY 2012-13 whereas 20% of sum assured has been allowed in the F.Y.2011-12.

Please clarify why the department has reduced from 20% to 10%

The whole idea is to persuade people to buy Insurance more for safety instead of tax saving purposes.  this shall go further down from 10% to 5% once DTC comes into force.  That shall actually force assesses's to buy term plans instead of money back plans..
