Hi, The Surrender value of the ULIP is completely tax-free under 10(10D) if FIVE policy premiums are paid. TDS would be deducted only if the amount is more than Rs 1 Lakh.

  Hi, I have noticed that you have posted a 'follow on query' as a separate thread. I have deleted that question and posted the same here Your reply: Thanks Shreekant for your prompt reply
in my case amount is more than 1 lakh
but since it is not taxable as you mentioned, will TDS be still applicable? Ans : No, TDS won't be applicable.
