23 March 2009 Yes assessee can claim deduction u/s 80C for tut ion fees paid for his (maximum 2 child's)full time education.

it immaterial that the amount is paid out of taxable income or not.
similarly it is also irrelevant that the amount is arranged by assessee out of his own sources or loan taken,

so he can claim deduction
