Hello Sir - I have taken a HDFC Unit Linked pension plan in 2008 and the fund value is approx. 49 lakhs. The policy matures in 2030 and allows for commutation of 1/3rd of fund value (with mandatory annuity for balance 67%). My HDFC Life Relationship manager is suggesting that he will transfer the proceeds of this fund to a new HDFC Smart life pension plan (via surrender of old policy and immediate reinvestment as single premium in the new policy) for a term of 5 years. At the vesting date, I will be allowed to remove 60% of the fund value as tax free commuted pension and will need to take annuity only for remaining 40% of fund value. This is beneficial for me (since tax free commutation under new pension plan is 60% as per new IRDAI rules instead of current 33%). In such a case, will the surrender of old policy and immediate reinvestment into new smart pension plan be a taxable transaction in India? I have claimed 80CCC benefits for part of premium paid in the past. HDFC Life has informed that the surrender and immediate reinvestment would not be taxable as I am not actually receiving any amount (the amount is fully being reinvested in the new pension plan). Is this advice by HDFC correct? Thanks for the advice.
Ans: Returns on all ULIPs purchased between April 2012 to February, 2021 are completely tax free if the premium was less than 10% of sum assured. For ULIPs purchased before April 2012, the maturity amount was tax free if the premium was less than 20% of sum assured for that policy.
