Life insurance premium paid out of taxable income is eligible for deduction u/s 80C but this will be subject to 20% of sum assured.

Further this deduction can be avail for the life insurance premium paid on the life of spouse, children only.

Ms. Bhavna & Mr Amit is right, but the limit is Rs. 1,00,000/- not 20%. it should be either LIC, NSC, Mutual Fund, etc. the total exemption is Rs.1 Lac.

Please
