Somehow I am under the impression that it is Rs 100 per child per month. Is there anything on these lines in IT act.

I think no such restriction is there like insurance premium.this is like fund concept.parents providing fund directly or indirectly .you are just making the payment on behalf of your father . Deduction can be claimed.
