Settlement Guidelines
 

NRI insurance offers death benefits to the respective family members in the event of the policyholder's death, irrespective of their location. Here are a few guidelines that every NRI should know.

The nominee can file the death claim for the settlement with the necessary documents detailed in the policy document.

In rupee life insurance policies, if the claim needs to be settled in favour of the nominee residing outside India, the payout in foreign currency should be proportionate to the amount of premium that has been paid in foreign currency out of the total premiums payable.

Nominees/beneficiaries residing outside India are permitted to credit insurance claims/maturity/surrender value settled in foreign currency to their NRE/FCNR account.

A resident beneficiary can open an RFC (Domestic) Account and credit claims/maturity benefits/surrender value settled in foreign currency to the account.

Resident beneficiaries previously residing outside India can open an RFC Account on becoming a resident and credit the proceeds of claims/maturity proceeds/surrender value settled in foreign currency. This is applicable to policies issued by an insurer in India.

If a rupee life insurance policy is issued to an Indian resident outside India and the premiums have been collected in non-repatriable rupees, the claims/maturity benefits/ surrender value will be credited to the beneficiary’s NRO account in rupees. The same applies if a death claim is settled in favour of the assignees/nominees of a resident outside India.

A foreign national can receive claims/maturity proceeds/ surrender value of rupee policies issued to them in rupees or can remit it abroad.


Note – If a credit card issued outside India is used for premium payments, it will not be treated as a payment in foreign currency as it will be credited to Tata AIA Life Insurance in Indian Rupee.

This does not include the interest and the proportionate risk premium for the period on the cover; stamp duty and medical examination costs will be deducted as well.

Are insurance proceeds taxable? 

Tax proceeds for NRI/ PIO/OCI Insurance policy will be governed by the provisions of Sec 10(10D) of the income tax law and conditions prescribed under income tax rules for NRI and may be amended from time to time. The same is applicable to all policies except for annuity plan or pension plan for NRI, and health insurance. For a better understanding of the taxability, please contact your financial tax expert.

Effective Feb 2021, all ULIP policies where annual Aggregate premium exceeds Rs 2.5 Lakh premium and from 01st April 2023, all non ULIP policies where annual Aggregate premium exceeds Rs 5.0 Lakh, would be treated as taxable policies. Accordingly, income arising would be taxable at the time of any payout (i.e. Total payout minus Premium paid).

Are annuities taxable?

Annuities are considered income in the hands of the receiver and are taxable as per prevailing income tax slabs for non-resident taxpayers.

Is the purchase price or the guaranteed addition received in the hands of the nominee as the death benefit taxable or tax-free? 

There is ambiguity in Income tax law on the death proceeds of annuity plans; however, in our view, the same should not be taxable in the hands of the nominee.

In the case of NRI customers, will Tata AIA deduct TDS from the annuity amount? If yes, what will be the rate of deduction?

  • TDS will not be deducted if the NRI resides in a country where DTAA is applicable provided the following documents are submitted at least once a year (During the pay-out period):

Do I need to furnish FATCA/CRS declaration again after taking policy Insurance policy?

Initially, a FATCA/CRS declaration is required along with the proposal form. All details need to be ensured mentioned correctly, For instance – TIN, Country of Tax, and address.

Govt of India has made changes in Income tax act vide finance act 2023, that in case a policyholder has incorrectly filled FATCA forms, same would be leading to penalty of Rs 5000 per year on policyholder.

In case of any change in address or change in status from NRI to resident, please inform the company official to update the same in the record so that reporting can be taken care of.

Is TIN Number Mandatory?

TIN Number is mandatory for FATCA returns; in countries where no income tax law applies (Middle East), other ID numbers available with the customer can be mentioned.
