What is Life Insurance Policy?

A life insurance policy is a financial protective shield one has for their family. Life insurance plans ensure a lump sum payment to the beneficiary on the occurrence of the death of an insured person. This is done to cushion the family members from the sudden loss. In the wake of emotional and physical damage, the family is still financially protected in exchange for individual premiums from the insured person.

 

These premiums can be monthly premiums for some years or a lump sum amount. The details of the insurance can vary from policy to policy. However, the policyholder should make sure that they yield maximum benefits from the investment they are making in the plan in the form of premiums.

 

Several benefits can be added to life insurance, like funeral costs and other coverage. These can be looked into in-depth while understanding what life insurance is?

How Do You Save Tax with Life Insurance Policy?

Before getting to know how you can save tax on life insurance, let us first understand how your taxable income is calculated vis-à-vis the tax saving investments you make.

 

Consider the taxable portion of your income amounts to Rs 5,00,000. This means that your tax liability for the year would be calculated for Rs 5,00,000, in accordance to your income bracket. Therefore, if some investment option is said to give a tax benefit up to Rs 50,000 per year, for example, then this Rs 50,000 is deducted from your taxable income, i.e., Rs 5,00,000. Thus, your tax liability would now be calculated on Rs 4,50,000.

 

  • The more tax saving options you invest in, the lower your taxable income becomes. It is suggested that you should explore a variety of tax-saving options spanning different sections of the Income Tax Act, 1961. This way you can reduce your taxable income component substantially.

  • These options include tax saving life insurance plans, health insurance, mutual funds, PPF (Public Provident Fund), NPF (National Provident Fund), home loan, etc.

  • The life insurance tax benefits are in accordance to Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, 1961. You can claim a maximum deduction of Rs 1,50,000 per year against the premiums paid for the life insurance policy. Please note that tax laws are subject to change from time to time.

  • The tax saving life insurance plans include policies taken for yourself, or your spouse, or dependent children.

  • However, you must be able to show that you are paying the premiums against these options from your income. Kindly note that you and your employed spouse cannot claim life insurance tax benefits on the same plans in one year.
