Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between immediate and deferred annuity?
An immediate annuity starts paying income immediately after depositing a lump sum. A deferred annuity allows your money to grow for a chosen deferment period before income payments commence.
Are annuity payouts tax-free?
No. While the initial investment may qualify for tax deductions at entry, regular annuity pension payments received are treated as taxable income under Indian income tax laws.
