ULIP Taxation after 5 years

I have purchased ULIP in August 2019, ie. before the Amendment effective on February 1, 2021. If I sell the ULIP afyer the lock-in-period of 5 years (ie. before the policy maturity period of 10 years), what will be the taxation rule under the new tax regime?

Quick Summary
If you purchased a ULIP before 1 February 2021, its taxation after the 5-year lock-in period will generally be exempt under Section 10(10D), provided the annual premium did not exceed 10% of the sum assured. This exemption applies even if you sell the ULIP before the full policy maturity, as long as the conditions for 10(10D) are met. Surrendering before five years, however, may reverse any 80C deductions previously claimed.

It will be tax exempt.

ULIP bought in August 2019:
• ULIPs issued before 1 February 2021 are unaffected by the Rs 2.5 lakh premium restriction. Maturity or surrender proceeds are exempt under Sec 10(10D) if the annual premium didn't exceed 10% of the sum assured.
• If you surrender after 5 years (the lock-in), the proceeds are exempt (if 10(10D) conditions are met). Surrender before 5 years reverses 80C deductions claimed.
• Partial withdrawals after 5 years are also exempt under the same conditions.
