Yes, the premiums paid for a life insurance policy can be claimed as a tax benefit under section 80C of the Income Tax Act. Maximum investment allowed as per Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, 1961 = Rs.1,50,000. Tax @ 30% (highest tax rate applicable to a salaried individual) on Rs.1,50,000 = Rs.45,000. Education Cess @ 3% on tax of Rs.45,000 = Rs. 1,350. Hence total tax saved = Rs.45,000+ Rs.1,350 = Rs.46,350**. Additionally, tax benefits are also applicable on the maturity benefit under section 10(10D) of the Act.
