1) Is the all amount of investment which includes mortality charges and investment portion both deductible U/s 37 !

HDFC had issued Keyman Policy in March 2005 with the limited premium for 3years. It was made to understand that if the policy is assigned to the keyman after making 3 installments of premium but before the expiry of 3rd anniversary then the surrender value will be zero and accordingly while assigning the policy as above HDFC has written in the column of consideration as zero. After assignment, the policy was to be considered as normal life insurance policy and on surrendering the same to HDFC and amount equivalent to premium paid was received by the assignee and accordingly the payment received from the HDFC by the assignee was claimed as exempt. Please claritfy whether the stand taken by the assessee is correct and please site suitable case laws on this subject.
