I bought an insurance policy with single premium of Rs 97048 and tenure of 9 years. The sum assured was Rs 130,000. Gross maturity proceeds were Rs 11,1348. There were two survival benefits of Rs 19,500 each at 3 year intervals.

In my layman’s understanding, my income from this policy is Rs 11,1348 minus single premium of Rs 9,7048, that is, Rs 14,300. But LIC is deducting TDS by adding the two survival benefits to this, that is, Rs 14,300 plus Rs 19,500 plus Rs 19,500 amounting to Rs 53,300. My question is, should I report Rs 14,300 or Rs 53,300 as my income from this policy while filling my ITR. AIS shows Rs 53,300.

Ans: Money received against insurance policy (which covers life) is fully taxable, wherein the premium is more than 10% (in case policy issued after 1st April 2012 or 20% (any other case) of the sum assured.

As premium paid by you is more than specified limit of sum insured, provisions related to exemption of amount received and deduction of premium paid is not available.

Accordingly, you have to pay tax on entire income i.e. survival benefit and amount received above amount paid by you i.e. Rs 53,300.

I have running ULIP Insurance policy bought in 2008. Premium 4 Lks. Assured sum 52 Lks and is still active. I shall very grateful to you if could clarify my below queries in "IT terms" 1. a. What is the tax implication, if a partial withdrawal if done now ? b. If no TDS is deducted, will the withdrawal amount be treated as an earning, or the purpose of tax filing? 2. a. As the ULIP policy was done in 2008, What will be the tax implication, in case of, surrender of the policy now? b. If no TDS is deducted on the surrender amount, will the surrender value be treated as an earning, for the purpose of tax filing.
Ans: Partial Withdrawal Tax Implications
Partial Withdrawal - Tax Implication Now:

Since your ULIP was bought before 2010, the partial withdrawal is tax-free if the premium does not exceed 10% of the sum assured (Rs 5.2 lakhs in your case).
No TDS Deducted - Treatment for Tax Filing:

If no TDS is deducted, the withdrawal is still tax-free and does not need to be treated as taxable income.
Surrender Tax Implications
Surrender of Policy - Tax Implication Now:

If you surrender the ULIP, the maturity proceeds are tax-free, as your policy was purchased in 2008, provided the premium does not exceed 10% of the sum assured.
No TDS Deducted on Surrender - Treatment for Tax Filing:

If no TDS is deducted, the surrender value is still tax-free and does not need to be reported as taxable income.

Hi Mam, Hope you are doing well. I am very worried about my son who is now 12.5 years old and studying in 7th standard in a very reputed school. Since childhood, he has no interest in studies, unless we doesn't seat in front of him, he doesn't study. Every teacher from his kindergarten days upto now has the same complaint that he is doesn't pay attention in class and the result is he doesn't get good marks in the exam. When we scold him for studies, he does it for that particular time only and then get back to his non-interest mode again and start to run from studies. He will play video games, goes to play around with his friends, he will find some or the other reason for not doing studies or homework. The irony is that he is not interested in any sports or any other kind of activities. In every summer holidays, we make him to join some sports or music classes, but there also he doesn't show interest and do things just for the sake of showing. From last year, we have started sending him to tuitions also, but no change in attitude. This year we have found a teacher of his reputed school who is retired and taking tuitions, we are sending him to her and she is charging a big amount for tuitions. please guide how can we change his attitude and make him more serious in any activity he does as he doesn't have interest in anything (we have observed doing everything we can).
Ans: Hello Sunil!!

I am doing great, thank you for asking, God bless you!

I can totally understand when you say you are worried.

Your son is 12.5, he will soon be a teenager. There will be different challenges, I want you to read up on parenting a teenager and be ready to handle him well.

The problem as I see it is that everyone of you, his teachers included have made studies like a burden for him.... and subjected the young child to a lot of anxiety, he just wants to run away form it....
"Every teacher from his kindergarten days upto now has the same complaint that he is doesn't pay attention in class".... this statement of yours... it is the teacher's duty to ensure the child listens to him/her, how can she start labeling a child like this. From a young age your son has been conditioned to believe that he is not not good in studies, he doesn't focus and he doesn't sit in one place. All my sympathies are with your son...every child comes with immense potential and it's our duty as parents and teachers to nurture the child.

The following is what I propose so that we bring him back to loving to learn ( not score marks, that should never be the barometer)-
1. Love your child the way he is now
2. Give him lot of positive strokes
3. Have one on one sessions for any activity you plan for him... let him choose the activity, empower him
4. choose a teacher, who can get along with him and help him develop a positive attitude towards studies and life in general
5. look for a school where they nurture him... not just a reputed one...less number of students and a teacher who is invested in her/ his students,

If you can connect with me, I can help him. Have had many a students in this kind situation.
