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 can be as permanent as you choose to make it, via guaranteed renewable policies. And equivalent amounts of money disappear, to pay for insurance, whether the policy is term or cash value. There can be benefits to a cash value plan, but these are not among them.
