    The matured life insurance proceeds are probably NOT taxable because most "dividends" on life insurance products are NOT deemed to be dividends at all, but rather refunds of premiums paid.

    However, I would have to do detailed research of the U.S.-India Tax Treaty to be sure, and such research cannot be done without proper compensation.
