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.
This applies to current, former and retired employees. Premiums you pay for employees' group life insurance that is not group term insurance or optional dependent life insurance are also a taxable benefit.
Term life insurance is life insurance protection for a specific number of years. For example, if you buy 10 year level term life insurance and you die within 3 years of buying the policy, your beneficiary would receive the life insurance proceeds, usually free of federal income tax.
