Tax Benefits Offered Under Life Insurance
Schedule II Exemptions (Formerly Section 10(10D)): Maturity proceeds refer to the amount paid to an investor upon completion of the policy tenure. Under Schedule II (Table S.No. 2) of the Income Tax Act, 2025, earlier covered under Section 10(10D) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, the maturity proceeds that you receive from buying a life insurance policy are exempted. This is subject to the premium paid in any year not exceeding a specified percentage of the sum assured, depending on when the policy was issued. This exemption ensures that the sum assured you or your nominees receive remains tax-free.
2. Tax Deductions Under Section 10 (10D) of the Income Tax Act
Tax exemptions are available under Section 10(10D) of the Income Tax Act on the payouts made to policyholders of life insurance on reaching maturity as a survival benefit. This is also applicable when the sum assured is paid out to the policyholder’s nominee as a death benefit. However, there are several considerations to be taken into account for tax exemptions under Section 10(10D) of the Income Tax Act.
What Are the Tax Benefits on Life Insurance Riders?
However, health-related riders, such as a critical illness rider, hospital cash rider, or surgical care rider, are treated differently. The premium for these is eligible for a separate deduction under Section 126 of the Income Tax Act, 2025 (earlier Section 80D), up to ₹25,000 per year (₹50,000 if you or your parents are senior citizens), in addition to the Section 123 limit. Both deductions are available only under the old tax regime.
3. Tax Benefits under Section 80D
It is possible to claim tax deductions on health insurance premiums and even for life insurance policies that offer additional health cover. For instance, those opting for riders such as Critical Illness Riders, Hospital Care Riders, Surgical Care Riders etc. can avail of deductions under Section 80D. It is possible to claim these deductions on insurance policies availed for self, spouse, children dependent on the policyholder and also your parents regardless of whether they are dependent on you or not. The tax benefits, aside from being available to individuals, can also be availed by members of Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs).
