Dear Sir,
This is with regard to maturity proceeds from Setubandhan, traditional policy by SBI Life Insurance Company. I had invested Rs. 3 Lac on 26th May 2015. It got matured on 26th May 2015. I had funded this investment from my NRE account. I am residing in Kuwait. Total amount at maturity turns out to be 4.5 lacs. Now they are saying that in case i fail to provide them with Tax Residency certificate from kuwait, they will deduct 30.9% of 4.5 lacs. I am surprised to hear that. If i do not present TRC they can take 30.9% of 1.5 lacs which they are giving and not on my money. They are reluctant to understand the concept. How can I stop them by doing this. Can i get some circular related to this and please help me get out of this trouble. please, thank you
