I am 37 years old and earning taxable income. My father age is 75 years and also has taxable income. My query is if I get insurance in my name and premium paid my father. Can My father claim deduction u/s 80C on the premium paid by him on my policy. Please advice
Your father cannot claim deduction u/s 80C on LIC premium paid by him on your policy as you are an independent child. It would have been allowable only if you were dependent child.
