In his letter to the Finance Minister, Gadkari raised concerns of the Nagpur Division Life Insurance Corporation Employees Union, which had submitted to him a memorandum regarding the issues of the insurance industry.
Referring to the memo, the Minister said, “Levying GST on life insurance premiums amounts to levying tax on the uncertainties of life. The Union feels that the persons who cover the risk of life’s uncertainties to give protection to the family should not be levied tax on the premium to purchase cover against this risk.

Further, he added that the main issue raised by the Union is related to the withdrawal of GST on life and medical insurance premiums.
Both Life Insurance And Medical Insurance Premiums Are Subject To An 18 Percent GST Rate
He further said, “Similarly, the 18 percent GST on medical insurance premiums is proving to be a deterrent for the growth of this segment of business which is socially necessary.”
