      1. Dear Hitesh, out of the surrender policies, only Jeevan saral is taxable.

        From MFs, if the holding period was less than 1Y, then only the profit if any becomes taxable. Please check it.

        Regarding shares, it seems you sold after 1Y holding, hence the gains if any are tax free.

        Thanks

          Dear Ashal,

          Thanks for the answers.
          Is there some restriction in period in case of jeevan saral.
          is it based on type of policy like for example if its money back then x is no of years required to be completed to make tax free and if its endowment then its y years.
          So what is Jeevan Saral and what is minimum period for it ?

          Regards,

          Hitesh

          Dear Ashal,

          Also in addition to above, i have claimed a cashless and post hospitalization claim for my father, so does it qualify for tax or tax rebate ?

          Thanks

          Hitesh

          1. Dear Hitesh, for ULIP, the minimum holding period is 3Y & for traditional policies (Jeevan Saral falls in this category), it’s 5Y. As you have surrender Jeevan Saral before 5Y, the surrender amount is taxable.

            Regarding the cashless mediclaim amount, it’s tax free & you need not to report it.

            Thanks

        2. Also i am joint account holder with my wife for her savings account and she is a housewife so and there is no income for her apart from interest from savings account, so do ineed to consider it under my income ?
        3. Also i am joint account holder with my father and he has income for rent from his shop and we file his returns also so do i need to show the interest from our joint account in his returns or my returns
