Therefore, the policy and its maturity proceeds could not constitute an undisclosed foreign asset.
Final Decision: The ITAT allowed the assessee’s appeal, holding that the policy maturity proceeds were neither undisclosed foreign income nor an undisclosed foreign asset under the Black Money Act and, independently, were exempt under section 10(10D).
It simply says:“any sum received under a life insurance policy, including the sum allocated by way of bonus on such policy”.
This issue cannot be treated as undisclosed income or undisclosed assets under the BMA.
