You will not be able to claim the deduction under Section 80C in respect of the premium paid by you on the insurance of your parents. Section 80C(4) only allows a deduction to be claimed if the premium is paid to insure the individual, the spouse of the individual or any child of the individual. The premium of your parents paid by you cannot be claimed as a deduction though they may be dependent on you.
