A Keyman insurance policy is a policy taken by a person on the life of another, where the other person has a key role in the organisation of the first person.

If it matures while the Key man is alive, then it is taxable in his hand as "Profit in lieu of salaries" under the head salaries U/s 17(3).

If it is received by the employer on the death of the key man, then it taxable under the head PGBP by virtue of section 28

It is received by the heirs of the key man, it taxable as income from other sources.

Normally, the entire sum received under ordinary life insurancwe policy is exempt from Tax U/s 10(D) including any sum allocated b way of bonus thereon. But this exemption is not available for KIP.
