I would like to differ with the experts. Sec 80C(2)(i) says "to effect or to keep in force an insurance on the life of persons specified in sub-section (4)"
As such, the deduction cannot be restricted only to premium and shall be allowed on any amount paid to keep such policy in force. Any interest/late fee is invariably paid to keep an policy in force which would otherwise get lapsed.
Hence deduction is available for late fee also.

As per my understanding, "to effect (means procuring insurance by paying first premium) or to keep in force an insurance(means payment of renewal premium) ..." does not relate to penalty for late payment. Its a finance charge or penalty and not the premium. Therefore, it may be appropriate to avoid availing such marginal deduction.

Sec 80C doesnot use the word 'premium'. It says "to effect or to keep in force an insurance on the life of persons". As such, the intention of the law is not to restrict the deduction only for premium.
The interest on late payment is incurred to keep the policy in force,if you do not pay the interest the premium would not be accepted. In case of late payment, both 'premium + interest' are pre-requisites to keep the keep the policy in force, hence both shall be allowed as a deduction.
