Subject: Service Tax on Life Insurance Policy
Ministry: FINANCE
Asked by: LALLU SINGH

## LOK SABHA

## STARRED QUESTION NO.*154

## TO BE ANSWERED ON FRIDAY THE 25 TH   NOVEMBER, 2016

## AGRAHAYANA 4,  1938 (SAKA)

## SERVICE TAX ON LIFE INSURANCE POLICY

## †*154. SHRI LALLU SINGH:

Will the Minister of FINANCE be pleased to state:

- (a) whether the service tax is leviable on the premium of life insurance policies and if so, the details thereof and the reasons therefor; (b)  whether  the  number  of  life  insurance  policies  has  decreased  in  the  aftermath  of introduction of service tax and if so, the number of life insurance policy holders under public and private life insurance companies before and after imposition of service tax during the last three years, company-wise; and (c)  whether the Government proposes to impose service tax on the maturity of insurance policy instead of levying at the beginning of the policy cover and if so, the details thereof and
- if not, the reasons therefor?

## A N S W E R

## MINISTER OF FINANCE

## (SHRI ARUN JAITLEY)

(a):  There  is  no  service  tax  levy  on  investment  component  of  the  premium  of  life insurance  policy,  as  investment  being  a  mere  transaction  in  money,  is  outside  the purview of service under the provisions of Finance Act, 1994. Service tax is leviable on  that  component  of  premium  of  life  insurance  policy  which  pertains  to  the  risk cover  and  managing  investment  for  the  policy  holders.  This  component  of  life insurance policy is the consideration for life insurance provided, which is a taxable service under the provisions of the Finance Act.

(b):  After imposition of service tax on life insurance services with effect from 10-092004, there was a continuous increase in new policies issued till 2009-10. There has been  a  decline  in  the  new  policies  issued  since  2010-11  to  2014-15.  Hence,  this decline  cannot  be  attributed  to  service  tax.  The  decline  can  be  because  of  several factors,  such  as,  increasing  penetration  of  insurance  policies,  easier  access  and awareness towards other investment options giving better returns.

(c):  No,  Sir.  Generally,  the  point  of  taxation  is  the  earliest  of  the  three  events  of issuance of invoice, receipt of consideration or completion of provision of  service. Service tax is levied at the specified rate determined in accordance with the point of taxation determined under Point of Taxation Rules, 2011.
