Please tell me for deduction under section 80C in this particular case
A has purchased a house property from B. A has paid stamp duty charges of Rs. 80,000. But on stamp duty receipt of Rs. 80000/- payment has been received from B. Whether A is eligible for Rs. 80,000/- stamp duty payment(but receipt is in favour of B) in year of purchase under 80C. if not, then 80C describes which stamp duty charges

In my opinion, since A is purchasing the property, A can get 80C benefit for stamp duty paid only if the stamp duty receipt is in the name of A.
