You might be thinking, section 80C has an upper limit of 1 lakh. So, any insurance premium paid upto Rs. 1 lakh is eligible for Tax Deductions. Whats the big deal about it?

Did you really think that?

Unfortunately my friend, its not that simple. The actual premium paid is considered fully for tax exemption (with a higher limit of 1 lakh, of course) only if the amount does not exceed 20% of the Policy's Sum Assured
