A LIC policy (Growth) has been surrendered during the year . Term of policy was 10 years , whereas the policy has been surendered after 5 years. TDS has been deducted by LIC u/s 194DA. Policy is a single premium policy. So under which head shall I treat income, Capital gain or Income from other source ?

It is taxable under IOS.

Thank you Sir for replying.

But can u please explain or give supporting law .

Surrender of policy does not amount to transfer of any capital asset. It cannot be taxed under any other head of income.

Surrender of policy is equivalent  'relinquishment'  of asset , and thus  included in defination of  transfer of asset.
 

A policy is a contract of indemnity & surrender amounts to its cancelation rather than relinquishment.

As it is sigle premium policy  (growth plan) i.e a 10yrs plan , as i mentioned above ..shall it be a contract of indemnity ..?? 

coz as per my view , it shall be investmnet .

 

A policy is basically a risk cover hence contract of indemnity even if it is linked to units to provide some extra returns to the holder.
