Tremendous exemption in tax

If you have not claimed deduction yet and you want to get income tax exemption under section 80C, then you can get tax exemption up to Rs 1.5 lakh on life insurance premium. Let us know its details.

Tax exemption will be available on the premium of Life Insurance

Under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, individuals and HUFs can claim a deduction of a total of Rs 1.5 lakh along with other instruments on payment of premium for life insurance policies. Above all, it is not mandatory for you to buy an insurance policy from an Indian insurance company to get this deduction.
