• Last date for making tax benefit investments

Hi

I have purchased a ULIP Plan (HDFC Click 2 Wealth) and made payment on 27th March 2019. I had submitted the documents and it is under the process of verification. I have received the payment receipt as well.

Now, I am being told the entire verification process can take 7 working days. By that time, it will go beyond March 31st.

My question is since I have paid on 27th March, can I avail of tax benefit this financial year even if the completion and delivery of policy happens after 31st March?

Best Regards,

As the payment has been made before 31.03.2019 and if the verification results will be positive then it will be allowed.

Yes, you can claim tax benefit this financial year provided you have sufficient proof of payment made on 27th march.

Hi Pritam

Since you have received the payment receipt, deduction shall be available for FY 18-19 only. All such investment based deductions are on payment basis.

No, there would be no issue if verification happens later in April. The tax benefit shall be available for FY 18-19.

Yes you can do it since the payment was made in March but if it is not verified then you will have to revise your income tax return and pay tax along with interest so just keep that in mind.

Or you can pay the tax now and in future claim refund by revising return.

Hope you find the information helpful if you do please rate it 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement.

Thank you

Hi

 

Yes ,tax benefit can be claimed in this year itself(2018-19)

Verification done in April will not effect it.

 

 

Hope it helps
