Expert Answer

Life insurance offers excellent tax benefits:

Section 80C: Premium paid (up to ₹1.5 lakh/year) is deductible from taxable income. Saves up to ₹46,800 in taxes.

Section 10(10D): Maturity proceeds are completely tax-free (if premium is less than 10% of sum assured).

Section 80D: Health insurance premium is additionally deductible — up to ₹25,000 (₹50,000 for senior citizens).

Best tax-saving LIC plans: Jeevan Umang, Jeevan Anand, and ELSS mutual funds for maximum tax benefit under 80C.
