Foreign life-insurance policy maturity proceeds were not treated as undisclosed foreign income or an undisclosed foreign asset where the investment source was satisfactorily explained. Premiums had been paid from income not chargeable to tax during non-resident status and later from salary already taxed in India; CBDT clarifications on explained foreign assets were stated to apply.
