Hello,

You will have to go through your policy documents to confirm if the surrender value of the policy is taxable or not. In case it is taxable then tax has to be paid on the same.

If it is not, then nothing has to be paid and you will not get its credit while filing your returns.

Trust this clarifies your query.

Feel free to call / get back in case of further clarifications.

Thanking You.

Hi,

Please refer to your insurance document to check whether the amount received on surrender of policy is taxable or not. If it is taxable, then it will be taxable in the hands of your father.

The amount transferred by your father to you will be exempt in your hands.

Trust this clarifies.

It will also not be taxable. You need to record the money as gift or loan in your books of accounts depending upon the nature.

Please feel free to call revert in case you need more clarity.

Thanks and regards
