Generally the payer of health insurance get deduction for self , spouse , children and parents.

So husband can't claim it .

If he wants to claim the deduction then support with court case law

@ Anoop,

Since payer is spouse on her health . It may not be claimed as deduction for husband under section 80D just because nominee is husband .

As per my view if payment for health insurance is done by assessee for self , spouse , children and parents then only it can be claimed
