Under section 80C, sum allowed as deduction is TUTION FEES excluding any payment towards development fees or donation or payment of similar nature. So first you have to check that how much amount is paid as tution fees. Second point is that it will be allowed to an individual who has paid this fees.

Sir, It is tution fees only. no donation/development fees. I paid Rs.1.5 lac and my wife paid remaining Rs.1.75 Lac. both from different accounts and have separate recipts for the same amount paid. we both file our returns separatly. can each of us claim Rs.1 lac as deduction ?
