After marriage of his daughter can he claim deduction u/s 80c? Is there any will arise from IT dept i.e his daughter is married and suppose premium is paid by his husband then?

Premium of LIC policy can be paid in cash for getting benefit U/s 80C. . U/s 80C, an assessee can claim deduction in respect of premium paid for the policy on life of his/her child. There is no specification like married or unmarried daughter. A daughter is always a child of her parents irrespective of her marital status. Pl. refer Section 80C(4). . Daughter's husband can claim deduction if he pays the premium. . In respect of the any premium amount, only one person can claim the deduction.
