Hi,
If the premium is more than 10% of the sum assured, any money received from a life insurance policy is fully taxable. As the premium paid by you is more than 10% of the sum assured. So, the amount received is fully taxable. You need to add the amount received under income from other sources.
So full amount of rs 18 lakhs is taxable in your hands and will be added with your other income to calculate tax .
Since, the premium paid is more than 10% of the sum assured, you are liable to pay tax.
Please feel free to call/revert in case of any doubts
Thanks and Regards

If it is loss then you need to show the same under other sources and also if it is profit then it is taxable in other sources of income.
As per your statement we see that you surrendered/ bank surrendered the same and it was in Loss as you have invested 23.86 lakhs and received 18 lakhs.
Hi
You will have to check your insurance policy whether the surrender amount is taxable or not. The taxability varies with each policy.
Depending on your policy, if the surrender amount is taxable then the amount of deduction claimed? by you on the payment of premium amount is only taxable. Bonus or any additional amounts received from LIC, may also be taxable.
