Note 1 to Para 107.1.2a in Page A-207 of 31st edition of Singhania's Ready Reckoner reads as follows:
"In the case of an individual policy should be taken on his own life, life of the spouse or any child..."
I understand from the above that LIC Premium paid by an individual on the lives of his/her parents does NOT qualify for Deduction u/s 80C
