Is car insurance premium paid is an allowable expenditure under income tax? if yes then under which section? If motor car is considered as plant for TDS then can it be considered as plant for Section 31of IT tax too?

In case of claim of insurance received what will be the treatment for the purpose of Income Tax?

General Insurance claim received is an indemnity and not an income so for income tax purpose what is the treatment if the asset is a business asset or a non business asset?
