Employeeâs contribution â Section 80CCD (1) Allowed to an Individual who makes deposits to his/her Pension account. Maximum deduction allowed is 10% of salary (in case of taxpayer being an employee) or 10% of gross total income (in case of tax payer being self-employed) or Rs 1, 50,000 whichever less is.

Term life insurance is the easiest life insurance to understand: It provides death benefit protection without any savings, investment or âcash valueâ components. Term life insurance is available for set periods of time such as 10, 15, 20 or 30 years. With annual renewable term life, your policy automatically renews and premiums increase each year. Choose level term insurance if you want your premium to stay the same for the duration of the policy.
