As per section 80c an individual can claim deduction of LIC premium paid in respect of his own, his wife/husband or his children. So accordingly no deduction available for LIc paid in the name of mother and younger brother. similarly deduction for tuition fees paid for sister can also not be claimed u/s 80C as it is available only for children of the individual.
