RECENT ADVANCE RULINGS UNDER GST

Brief Analysis by
CA Aditya Surte

  1. Liquidated damages – Taxability under GST and time of supply

    Whether receipt of liquidated damages on account of delay in commissioning of project is a supply liable to GST?

    Applicant is engaged in production and distribution of electricity obtained from solar energy. It has engaged a contractor for construction of solar power project. The agreement has clauses for recovery of liquidated damages on account of delay in delivering of the contract and non- performance of the plant. The Applicant approached the AAR for ascertaining GST liability on liquidated damages on account of delay in commissioning and its time of supply.

    The Authority while referring to the provisions of section 55 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, observed that a combined reading of the provisions of sub-sections (1) & (3) of the said section 55 reveals that a failure to perform the contract at the agreed time renders it voidable at the option of the opposite party and, alternatively, such party can recover compensation for such loss occasioned by non-performance. It further observed that the liquidated damages in the Applicant’s case are consideration for tolerating an act or a situation arising out of the contractual obligation and the consideration received for such forbearance is taxable under CGST and SGST @ 9% each under the chapter head 9997 at Sr. No. 35 of Notification No. 11/2017-Central Tax/ State Tax (Rate).

    Regarding the time of supply of service, the Authority observed that the contract itself prescribes the date on which the liquidated damages have to be determined and paid. Therefore, the date on which the liquidated damage is determined as per the formula prescribed in the clause 6 of the contract is the time of supply of service entry in 5(e) of Schedule II.

    (Telangana AAR Order No. 07 of 2022 dated 16/02/2022 in the case of Achampet Solar Pvt. Ltd.)

  2. Demo cars – Eligibility of ITC

    Whether ITC can be availed on purchase of demo cars and on ancillary input services such as insurance and repair & maintenance in respect of such demo cars?

    Appellant is an authorised dealer of Maruti Suzuki India Ltd. It purchases demo cars for demonstration purposes along with the purchases of vehicles for further supply. Each demo car is used for a maximum period of two years from the date of purchase after which it can be sold as a second-hand car. On an application for advance ruling before the Haryana AAR, the said Authority ruled that the GST paid on the purchase of demo vehicles and the procurement of ancillary services such as insurance and repair & maintenance in respect of such demo vehicles cannot be availed as ITC. Aggrieved by the order of the AAR, the Appellant preferred an appeal before the Haryana AAAR on the ground that the demo vehicles are always intended for further supply after the specified use and that no time limit has been prescribed under the CGST Act for further supply of vehicles.

    The Appellate Authority observed that the GST law makes a very restricted and specific provision for allowing ITC on motor vehicles. A demo vehicle loses the character of a new vehicle in the first demonstration run and is sold akin to second hand goods which is different from new vehicle and accordingly treated differently under GST law. Thus, it cannot be said that the demo vehicle is for ‘further supply of such motor vehicles’.

    The Authority further observed that if the contention of the applicant is allowed then all the motor vehicles, irrespective of the nature of supply will be eligible for ITC across industries. It will no longer be a restricted clause for Car Dealers but will be an open clause for all the trade and industry to avail the ITC on all the vehicles purchased by them. The demo vehicles received by the Appellant have never been received with the intent to simply ‘further supply/sell’ as such. ITC on these vehicles, thus, cannot be allowed.

    On the question of ITC on ancillary services such as insurance and repair& maintenance relating to the demo vehicles, the Appellate Authority observed that the credit of the input services of repair/insurance/maintenance used in respect of said vehicles with seating capacity up to 13 passengers, cannot be allowed on the same rationale as above.

    (Haryana AAAR Order No. HAR/AAAR/2019-20/03 dated 28/06/2021 in the case of Platinum Motocorp LLP)

  3. Bus Body Building – Classification

    Whether the activity of fabricating and mounting Tankers, Tippers, etc. on the chassis provided by the owner of such chassis, i.e., bus body building would be covered under the category of Supply of Services?

    Applicant is engaged in building bodies of various vehicles falling under Chapter 87 of the First Schedule to the Custom Tariff Act such as mounting of tankers, tippers etc. on chassis provided by the owner of such chassis, either registered or unregistered.

    The Authority, upon considering the detailed facts of the case, observed that bus body building on customer owned chassis is supply of service in accordance with Entry 3 of Schedule II to the CGST Act. Section 2(68) of the Act defines “job work” as any treatment or process undertaken by a person on goods belonging to another registered person. Therefore, bus body building on chassis owned by a GST registered customer is job work and finds entry at Sr. No. 26(ic) to Notification 11/2017-CT(R). Bus body building on chassis owned by un-registered customer is ‘manufacturing services on physical inputs (goods) owned by others, other than those registered under CGST Act’ which finds entry at Sr. No. 26(iv) to Notification 11/2017- CT(R).

INCOME TAX UPDATES

By CA. Ajay Talreja

Section 44AD cannot be applied to Commission Agents

Case Name : Shri Selvaperumal Govindraj vs ITO (ITAT Chennai) Appeal Number : ITA No. 2720/CHNY/2019 Date of Judgement/Order : 08/04/2022 Related Assessment Year : 2013- 14 Courts : All ITAT ITAT Chennai

Shri Selvaperumal Govindraj vs ITO (ITAT Chennai) We noted that the legal position is very clear that profit rate as mentioned in the provisions of Section 44AD of the Act, cannot be applied to commission agents who are doing business of agency commission or earning commission income only in view of provisions of Section 44AD(6)(iii) of the Act. Hence, as canvassed by ld. counsel for the assessee, a reasonable profit can be estimated. Accordingly, we estimate the profit at the rate of 4% of total credits determined by the AO at Rs.1,58,01,195/-, after deducting sweep transfers. The AO will recompute the income accordingly.

ITO vs Kanubhai M. Patel (ITAT Ahmedabad) Pune Tribunal in the case of Dilip Battu Karanjule v. ITO [2016] 74 taxmann.com 12 (Pune – Trib.)

held that where assessee identified land on behalf of existing and known persons and entire money towards purchase of land had been financed by such persons to whom land was ultimately sold within a short span of its acquisition without putting land for agricultural use at any point of time, it was to be held that activities carried out by assessee towards purchase and sale of impugned land was adventure in nature of trade and thus a business activity chargeable to tax. In the case of Harshadkumar Amrutlal Patel v. DCIT [2019] 111 taxmann.com 31 (Ahmedabad – Trib.), the Ahmedabad ITAT held that where assessee had purchased agricultural land and immediately thereafter converted said land into non-agricultural land for commercial use, etc., driving force for purchase of land was to exploit it commercially, and, thus, profit arising on sale being nearly 30 times of investment in a period of 3-4 years owing to such concerted and planned transaction of purchase and sale of land had been rightly regarded as business activity by Assessing Officer. The Kerala High Court in the case of N.A. Baby v. DCIT [2015] 62 taxmann.com 22 (Kerala) held that where assessee having purchased agricultural land, converted same into barren land and thereupon sold it within short period of purchase, said activity was to be regarded as adventure in nature of trade and, consequently, profit earned on sale of land was to be taxed as business income. Now, in the facts of the present case, the assessee bought four plots of land, consolidated the same into a single plot, converted their use from agricultural to non-agricultural and sold the same to SPIL at a profit. It is evident from contents of letter dated 15-09-2007, that the intention at the time of purchase of land was to sell the same to SPIL at a profit, and assessee has no intention to hold the land as an investment or utilize for any other purpose. In our view, the case is directly covered by facts in the case of G. Venkataswami Naidu & Co. v. CIT 35 ITR 594 (SC) and also Pune ITAT in the case of Dilip Battu Karanjule v. ITO [2016] 74 taxmann.com 12 (Pune – Trib.) wherein on identical facts, the Courts held that the intention at the time of purchase has to be seen and if the intention at the time of purchase was to sell land at a profit the transaction would qualify as ‘adventure in the nature of trade’. In the instant facts. the assessee took an interest-bearing unsecured loan (which was arranged by SPIL) to give effect to the transaction. The assessee did not make any improvements to the land and as soon the land use was converted to non-agricultural, the assessee sold the same to SPIL for a profit, as was intended from the beginning. Thus, in our view, though the assessee was acting as a full time employee and acted on the request of his employer to undertake the present transaction, still in our considered view, the present engagement qualifies as an adventure in the nature, by applying the ratio of the above decisions. It may also be useful to refer to the observation of Ld. AO while passing the assessment order, at page 13, Para 10 observed as below: “The above analysis of the engagement letter proves that the assessee has merely invested his money in this arrangement to get good return in short time as per company’s offer of acquiring impugned land having clear title and in no way it can be said that he is doing a business of estate agent since if he has been doing this business he would have not signed the said agreement letter with the company or he would have put up his own condition against the company’s condition and then a fix price or a fix percentage of consideration of land would have been worked out as an amount of remuneration/compensation for doing this work. The assessee has managed the fund for purchase of land through his own efforts and subsequently sold the said land to earn profit on it meaning thereby he has put in his money as an investment to earn profit. Above analysis jointly read with our earlier observation in this order on the aspect of doing a business of real estate broker clearly indicates that the assessee has only acted to earn profit by making investment in this opportunity. The above observations of Ld. AO in the assessment order also indicate to the fact that the assessee has engaged in the afore-mentioned transaction to make profit, although the transaction was entered into at the request of his employer, SPIL. Hence, from an analysis of facts, it is apparent that the assessee has entered into a transaction with the intent to sell land at a profit by undertaking the necessary steps to convert their land use from non-agricultural to agricultural, which in our considered view would qualify as ‘an adventure in the nature of trade’. In view of the above, we are of the considered view that the transaction undertaken qualifies as ‘adventure in the nature of trade’ and hence provisions of section 50C would not apply to the instant set of facts.

Clubbing of Income under Income Tax Act, 1961 FAQ”S

Q. 1 is the meaning of clubbing of income?

Ans: Normally, a person is taxed in respect of income earned by him only. However, in certain special cases income of other person is included (i.e. clubbed) in the taxable income of the taxpayer and in such a case he will be liable to pay tax in respect of his income (if any) as well as income of other person too. The situation in which income of other person is included in the income of the taxpayer is called as clubbing of income. E.g., Income of minor child is clubbed with the income of his/her parent. Section 60 to 64 contains various provisions relating to clubbing of income.

Q. 2 Do any clubbing provisions exist in case of transfer of income without transfer of asset?

Ans: As per section 60, if a person transfers income from an asset owned by him without transferring the asset from which the income is generated, then the income from such an asset is taxed in the hands of the transferor (i.e., person transferring the income). E.g., Mr. Raj has given a bungalow owned by him on rent. Annual rent of the bungalow is Rs. 84,000. He transferred entire rental income to his friend Mr. Kumar. However, he did not transfer the bungalow. In this situation, rent of Rs. 84,000 will be taxed in the hands of Mr. Raj.

Q. 3 Do any clubbing provisions exist in case of a revocable transfer?

Ans: Revocable transfer is generally a transfer in which the transferor directly or indirectly exercises control/right over the asset transferred or over the income from the asset. As per section 61, if a transfer is held to be a revocable, then income from the asset covered under revocable transfer is taxed in the hands of the transferor. The provisions of section 61 will not apply in case of a transfer by way of trust which is not revocable during the life time of the beneficiary or a transfer which is not revocable during the lifetime of the transferee.

Q. 4 Can remuneration received by spouse of an individual be clubbed with his/her income?

Ans: Under certain circumstances as given in section 64(1)(ii), remuneration (i.e., salary) received by the spouse of an individual from a concern in which the individual is having substantial interest is clubbed with the income of the individual. Provisions in this regard are as follows: The individual is having substantial interest in a concern (*). Spouse of the individual is employed in the concern in which the individual is having substantial interest. The spouse of the individual is employed without any technical or professional knowledge or experience (e.,remuneration is not justifiable).(*) An individual shall be deemed to have substantial interest in any concern, if such individual alone or along with his relatives beneficially holds at any time during the previous year 20% or more of the equity shares (in case of a company) or is entitled to 20% of profit (in case of concern other than a company). Relative for this purpose includes husband, wife, brother or sister or lineal ascendant or descendant of that individual [section 2(41)]. Illustration A Mr. Raja is beneficially holding 21% equity shares of Essem Minerals Pvt. Ltd. Mrs. Raja is employed as Manager (in accounts department) in Essem Minerals Pvt. Ltd. at a monthly salary of Rs. 84,000. Mrs. Raja is not having any knowledge, experience or qualification in the field of accountancy. Will the remuneration (i.e., salary) received by Mrs. Raja be clubbed with the income of Mr. Raja?

** In this situation, Mr. Raja is having substantial interest in Essem Minerals Pvt. Ltd. and remuneration of Mrs. Raja is not justifiable (i.e., she is employed without any technical or professional knowledge or experience) and, hence, salary received by Mrs. Raja from Essem Minerals Pvt. Ltd. will be clubbed with the income of Mr. Raja and will be taxed in the hands of Mr. Raja.

Illustration B Mrs. Kumar is beneficially holding 25% equity shares of SM Construction Pvt. Ltd. Mr. Kumar is an architect and he is employed as site observer of one of the construction sites of the SM Construction Pvt. Ltd. at a monthly salary of Rs. 28,400. The remuneration received by Mr. Kumar is justifiable considering his knowledge, experience and qualification. Will the remuneration received by Mr. Kumar be clubbed with the income of Mrs. Kumar because she is having substantial interest in SM Construction Pvt. Ltd.? **

In this situation, Mrs. Kumar is having substantial interest in SM Construction Pvt. Ltd., but Mr. Kumar is deputed on the basis of his knowledge, experience and qualification and, hence, remuneration paid to him is justifiable. The clubbing provisions of section 64(1)(ii) apply only in a case where spouse is deputed without any technical or professional knowledge or experience. In this case, the remuneration of spouse is justifiable, hence, salary received by Mr. Kumar will not be clubbed with the income of Mrs. Kumar but will be taxed in his hands.

Q. 5 Can income from assets transferred to spouse without adequate consideration be clubbed with the income of transferor-spouse?

Ans: As per section 64(1)(iv), if an individual transfers (directly or indirectly) his/her asset (other than house property) to his or her spouse otherwise than for adequate consideration, then income from such asset will be clubbed with the income of the individual (i.e., transferor). Income from transfer of house property without adequate consideration will also attract clubbing provisions, however, in such a case clubbing will be done as per section 27 and not under section 64(1)(iv). The clubbing provisions of section 64(1)(iv) will apply even if the form of asset is changed by the transferee-spouse. There are certain situations in which the clubbing provisions of section 64(1)(iv) are not applicable).

Illustration C Mr. Soham holds 8,400 debentures of Shyamal Minerals Ltd. He gifted these debentures to his wife. Will the income from debentures be clubbed with the income of Mr. Soham?

** In this situation, the debentures are transferred to spouse. Transfer is via gift (i.e., without any consideration) and, hence, income generated from the transferred asset, i.e., interest on such debentures will be clubbed with the income of Mr. Soham. Illustration D Mr. Kapoor gifted Rs. 8,40,000 to his wife. The said amount is invested by his wife in debenture of a company. Will the income from the debenture purchased by Mrs. Kapoor from gifted money be clubbed with the income of Mr. Kapoor? ** Rs. 8,40,000 is transferred to spouse. Fund is transferred via gift (i.e., without adequate consideration) and, hence, the provisions of section 64(1)(iv) will be attracted. The provisions of clubbing will apply even if the form of asset is changed by the transferee-spouse. In this case asset transferred is money and, subsequently, the form of asset is changed to debentures, hence, income from debentures acquired from money gifted by her husband will be clubbed with the income of her husband. Thus, interest on debenture received by Mrs. Kapoor will be clubbed with the income of Mr. Kapoor.

Q. 6 Are there any situations in which the clubbing provisions do not apply in case of income from assets transferred to spouse?

Ans: The clubbing provisions of section 64(1)(iv) are not applicable in the following situations: If the transfer of asset is for adequate consideration; If the transfer of asset is in connection with an agreement to live apart; If the asset is transferred before marriage, no income will be clubbed even after marriage, since the relation of husband and wife should exist both at the time of transfer of asset and at the time of accrual of income;

Q. 7 Can income from assets transferred to son’s wife without adequate consideration be clubbed with the income of transferor, i.e., father-in-law/mother-in-law?

Ans: As per section 64(1)(vi), if an individual transfers (directly or indirectly) his/her asset to his/ her son’s wife otherwise than for adequate consideration, then income from such asset will be clubbed with the income of the individual (i.e., transferor being father-in-law/mother-in-law). The provisions of clubbing will apply even if the form of asset is changed by the transferee-daughter-in-law. If the asset is transferred before marriage of son, no income will be clubbed even after marriage, since the relation of father-in-law/mother-in-law and daughter-in-law should exist both at the time of transfer of asset and at the time of accrual of income. If on the date of accrual of income, the relation of father-in-law/ mother-in-law and daughter-in-law does not exist, then the provisions of clubbing will not apply.

Q. 8 Can income from assets transferred to any person for the benefit of spouse or for the benefit of son’s wife without adequate consideration be clubbed with the income of transferor?

Ans: As per section 64(1)(vii), if an individual transfers (directly or indirectly) his/her asset otherwise than for adequate consideration to a person or an association of persons for the immediate or deferred benefit of his/her spouse, then income arising from the asset so transferred will be clubbed with the income of transferor. As per section 64(1)(viii), if any individual transfers (directly or indirectly) his/ her asset otherwise than for adequate consideration to a person or an association of persons for the immediate or deferred benefit of his/her son’s wife, then income arising from the asset so transferred will be clubbed with the income of transferor.

Q. 9 Is minor child’s income clubbed with the income of parent? How can parent claim TDS deducted on his minor’s child income?

Ans: As per section 64(1A), income of minor child is clubbed with the income of his/her parent (*). Income of minor child earned on account of manual work or any activity involving application of his/her skill, knowledge, talent, experience, etc. will not be clubbed with the income of his/her parent. However, accretion from such income will be clubbed with the income of parent of such minor. Income of minor will be clubbed with the income of that parent whose income (excluding minor’s income) is higher. If the marriage of parents does not sustain, then minor’s income will be clubbed with the income of parent who maintains the minor. In case the income of individual includes income of his/her minor child, such individual can claim an exemption under section 10(32)) of Rs. 1,500 or income of minor so clubbed, whichever is less. (*) Provisions of section 64(1A) will not apply to any income of a minor child suffering from disability specified under section 80U. In other words income of a minor suffering from disability specified under section 80U will not be clubbed with the income of his/her parent.

Q. 10 Will any clubbing provision apply in case of transfer of asset to Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) by its member?

Ans: As per section 64(2), when an individual, being a member of HUF, transfers his property to the HUF otherwise than for adequate consideration or converts his property into the property belonging to the HUF (it is done by impressing such property with the character of joint family property or throwing such property into the common stock of the family), then clubbing provisions will apply as follows: Before partition of the HUF, entire income from such property will be clubbed with the income of transferor. After partition of the HUF, such property is distributed amongst the members of the family. In such a case income derived from such property by the spouse of the transferor will be clubbed with the income of the individual and will be charged to tax in his hands.

CHARITABLE TRUSTS UPDATES

By Adv. Hemant Gandhi &
CA Premal Gandhi

  

Concept of Mutuality and its Interplay with Charitable Institutions

A mutual society is an organization, where a group of people come together for the benefit of the members of that association or society so formed. Another distinct feature of a mutual society is that such members have the right to claim the benefit from that society/association.

In common parlance, a mutual society implies that the contributors and the recipients are one and the same. Therefore, there cannot be a legal transfer or transaction between the mutual society and its members and such societies are not normally subjected to tax on the principle that a person cannot make a profit from himself.

The Hon’ble Supreme Court in Bangalore Club v. CIT [2013] 29 taxmann. com 29/212 Taxman 566

held that the following principles govern mutuality.

  • The principle of mutuality relates to the notion that a person cannot make a profit from himself. An amount received from oneself is not regarded as income and is, therefore, not subject to tax; only the income which comes within the definition of section 2(24) is subject to tax (income from business involving the doctrine of mutuality is denied exemption only in special cases covered under clause (vii) of section 2(24) of the Income Tax Act.

The crucial test of mutuality is that all the contributors to the common fund must be entitled to participate in the surplus and all the participators in the surplus must be contributors to the common fund. Therefore, there must be a complete identity between the contributors and the participators If this requirement is satisfied, the particular form which the association takes the contributions is immaterial. Conversely, where there is no such identity between the class of contributors to the common fund and the class of participators in the surplus, the profits of the association would be assessable to tax.

The surplus or income generated by society may not be distributed to the members. The test is whether the money belongs to the members or not. In CIT v. Merchant Navy Club [1974] 96 ITR 261 (AP), it was held that it is of no consequence whether the surplus is paid back to the members or is kept with the society for its future development. In this case, it was observed that it was immaterial whether the surplus is paid back to the members in cash or is put to reserve with the club for its development and for providing better amenities to its members. Further, the participation of the members in the surplus must be in their character as contributors to the common fund or as consumers, and not as shareholders getting dividends on their share amount or as debenture holders earning interest.

An organisation formed for charitable purposes is registered under section 12AA/12AB of the Income- tax Act, 1961 so that any application out of income can be claimed as application of income and therefore income is not subject to tax.

CBDT has issued an explanatory circular dated 19.12.2008 No.11/2008, F No. 134/34/2008-TPL which clarifies that both mutuality and charitable purpose can co-exist. The circular states that where industry or trade associations claim both to be charitable institutions as well as mutual organizations and their activities are restricted to contributions from and participation of only their members, these would not fall under the purview of the proviso to section 2(15) owing to the principle of mutuality. However, if such organizations have dealings with non-members, their claim to be charitable organizations would now be governed by additional conditions stipulated in the proviso to section 2(15) [Circular No. 11/2008 [F No.134/34/2008-TPL]

However the concept of Mutuality have been denied in the following cases as the services were being provided to members as well as non -members.

The High Court of Delhi in the case of CIT v. India Habitat Centre [2020] 114 taxmann.com 84/269 Taxman 401 held that where India Habitat Centre, inter alia set up with primary aim and objective to promote habitat concept, was registered as a charitable trust, principle of mutuality for computation of its income was not required to be gone into as income was to be computed as per sections 11, 12 and 13. In this case, the court held that the assessee cannot be treated as a hybrid organisation i.e. partly mutual society and partly charitable even if it was providing specific services to members and non-members if overall it was not generating surplus and no profit motive. In other words, the entire organisation should be treated as charitable in nature.

 

FINANCIAL PLANNING VIA LIFE INSURANCE

By Mr. Tushar P. Joshi

As per the principal of Risk Management Either you retain the risk of Transfer the risk. And smart people like you will always transfer the risk.

According to me Insurance is the best tool to have at your disposal in order to protect yourself from exposure to risks that will affect your financial planning in future. Even with the best plans in place to grow your wealth, unexpected events can, and do occur.

Preparation is the best strategy for dealing with life-changing events like injury, disability and major illness. Unfortunately, many who fail to prepare for unforeseen events often find themselves as risk of depleting their life saving to cover the medical and other expenses.

Insurance is your greatest protection from the adverse effects of unexpected events, as your risk and financial responsibility is transferred to the insurer. There are many kinds of insurance policies available to safeguard your financial well-being,

As essential part of financial planning is creating provisions for your family and loved ones following your death. Life insurance can ensure financial security to those who mean the most to you, such as your spouse, children and dependent parents. A carefully executed life insurance policy can help to prepare for life’s uncertainties and give peace of mind knowing that the future of those who rely on you is secured.

  1. Life Insurance pays for immediate expenses:

    In event of death Bill can start accumulating fast. Life insurance can be used to pay for immediate expenses, such as funeral expenses, unsettled hospital and medical bills, mortgage payment, business commitments and meeting school and college education expenses for children.

  2. Family’s standard of living can be maintained:

    With the right coverage, your family’s lifestyle and standard of living can be sustained; adding much needed normalcy during a difficult time and can maintain dignity.

  3. Options Available:

    There are two basic types of life insurance: Term and Endowment policies. Term life policies offer death benefits, only so if insured die nominee will get money, but if insured live past the pre-determined period of the policy, there is no benefit.

    Endowment Policies are more expensive, but these policies are open-ended and also accumulate a bonus cash value that the policyholder can enjoy during the retired life blissfully.

  4. Tailor made policy and coverage:

    If you have dependent children, spouse and dependent parents then, policy that would protect them after death is a must. Ideally, policies are opened for the breadwinner of the family, but a spouse’s (House Wife) contributions are often overlooked. You might consider a policy to cover

    childcare, carpooling and household expenses in the event of a spouse’s (House Wife) death. On the other side, as you get older and children are no longer dependent on you for income, you can gradually reduce your coverage.

  5. Adequate coverage makes a difference:

    An old school rule of thumb is that your life insurance policy equals five to ten times of your annual income. Nowadays, advisors will look at the number of dependents you have, how long they will be dependent upon you, and the lifestyle they expect to live after your death. It’s not a simple equation, but in general, you will need more coverage than a typical plan offered by an employer, which usually is sum total of one or two years of your gross Income.

  6. You can improve your credit rating:

    A life insurance policy is considered as a financial asset and may increase your credit score, which could be beneficial when trying to obtain a home or business loan. Every asset has value and value is equal to cash and cash is KING.

  7. So Life insurance is not a Luxury Product:

    It’s wise to talk to an expert who can dispel all you doubt through the pros and cons of available plans and help you to choose coverage that may be best for your individual situations, now and in the future.
