I pay my insurance premium monthly.  Since i was late to pay the premium of March 2014 by 30 days it landed up getting paid in April 2015.  I then caught up with the premium payments as a result of which i have 13 premium payments for 2014-15.  Can i claim the aggregate of 13 months as tax deduction under section 80C or will i be restricted to 12 ?

Thanks
