Check if you can claim the service tax component of the premium on your insurance u/s 80C. I think you can claim only the premium excluding the service tax.

But I think Whole Amount paid as LIC is allowed as Deduction u/s 80C includind Service Tax. But not Late Charges.

For example of an assessee is paying insurance premium of Rs. 100,000/-, he/she can claim the whole amount u/s 80C.
But, the corpus of his/her insurance for the year will be Rs. 90,622/- and not Rs. 100,000/- (Rs. 9,338/- Service tax)
Service tax collected by Insurance company will be deposited to the Government and not accumulate with the corpus.
