Adhoc deduction is available for insurance commission agents earning commission upto Rs. 60000 per annum. Above that they are supposed to maintain books of accounts if receipts exceed 120000/- or income is above taxable limit. You can keep proper account of expenses like travelling, conveyance, telephone expenses, entertainment and cleint relationship expenses etc., which are incurred as part of the insurance canvassing activity. Depreciation of vehicles, computers etc can also be claimed if these are used for the activity

IT act does not discriminate between LIC and other private insurance companies in this regard
