I AM A RETIRED INDIAN RAILWAY EMPLOYEE.WHILE IN SERVICE I USED TO CLAIM TUTION FEES AMOUNT WHICH I SPENT ON EDUCATIONAL OF MY CHILDRENS BY SUBMITTING THE FEES RECEIPTS TO THE EMPLOYER. NOW MY CHILDRENS ARE STILL STUDYING SO CAN I CLAIM THEIR TUTION FEES AMOUNT U/S 80C ? IF YES THEN WILL I NEED TO SHOW IT DEPARTMENT ANY PROOF?

You can claim deduction for tuition fees u/s 80C at the time of fling of your Income Tax Return. You need to show the fees receipt to the department in case of scrutiny assessment which would be an exception in your case
