I have taken a money back policy from Lic for 20 years in Mar 2012.Now I am about to receive money back amount after 4 years. Can anyone tell me whether tax will be deducted on the payment received from LIC.

As per Section 10(10D) of the income tax Act, in case of policies issued after 1-4-2012 in case premium for any year exceeds 10% of the sum assured, whole of the money received on maturity of such policy will become taxable.(20% before that) So you need to check if your policy premium exceeds the limit
