I had initiated a life stage pension coverage with ICICI Prudential Insurance Company in 2008 by paying ₹1 lakh premium for 10 years. The coverage matured in 2018 however I didn’t vest the fund worth then due to my uncertainty in regards to the tax implications. According to the phrases of the coverage doc, I can get 1/third of the fund worth tax-free in my funds and the remainder should be invested in an annuity coverage, which delivers low returns now. What is the tax implication if I vest the whole fund worth in money in my arms now? If there are any tax liabilities, will solely the fund appreciation over and above my ₹10 lakh contribution with indexation be taxable? How a lot tax is to be levied?
