Unlike in the case of any insurance product where redemption or surrender amount is not taxable, the surrender value under a pension product is taxed in the hands of the individual.
Since Future Plus is a pension plan and falls under section 80CCC of the Income Tax Act, the surrender value is taxable in the hands of the policyholder. On redemption, an individual can receive one third of the redemption amount tax free and from the balance purchase annuities at the then prevailing rates.
