One of my client had paid his LIC Premium through cheque on 31.03.2010 and got receipt from LIC of India with a remark subject to clearance.LIC of India presented the cheque for clearing on 09.04.2010 and also got the cheque cleared on 09.04.2010. Now the question arises whether the assesse will get the benefit of 80C in the previous year 2009-2010 or not.If not then is not it wrong for negligence of LIC of India.
