Please read sub-section (iv) of Section 80C. Deduction in respect of insurance premium is available in the case of an individual if the premium is paid to keep in effect an insurance on the life the individual, the wife or husband and any child of such individual. Deduction is not available if the premium is paid in respect of an insurance policy in the name of the grandchildren.
