No.

Policyholder is the owner of the contract, he only has to surrender.

But in extreme cases, where the owner is medically not fit (E.g. if he's in Koma), practice varied from company to company.

The surrender (voluntary termination) of a life insurance policy involves the payment by the insurer, prior to the death of the insured, of the accumulated cash value of a whole life policy. The cash value is the "savings element" of a whole life policy. Upon surrender, the insurer pays the accumulated cash value less any surrender charges specified in the policy. Reinstatement of the same policy is generally not available after surrender. Instead, the insured must reapply for coverage and meet then-prevailing underwriting standards for his/her current age and health status.

What are the taxes on cash surrender of insurance?

How much is the surrender value compared to the premiums paid in? Generally speaking, there is no tax on the cash surrender value of a life ins. policy. This is because the (guaranteed) cash surrender value (GSV) represents the "legal reserve" required by law. So, for instance, if a person is insured for $100k, and the policy has a GSV of $10k, when the insured person dies (assuming no policy loans, etc.) the death benefit of $ 100k is paid to the named beneficiary: $ 90k of the insurance company's $'s, and $ 10k of the insured's $'s. Had the insured taked a policy loan of $10k, then the death benefit would be only the $ 90k. Hope this helps.
