Okay. So my confusion is if the money gifted by parents in form of LIC/PPF is not taxable, then doesnt that become money of that employee? Why cant he/she claim 80c deduction on that? 

Thanks

if you dont have income from business it does not matter who paid it u can claim once but if u have income from business it will be risk for u

Okay. So money gifted by relatives is tax free, but if that money is used to pay the premium of LIC/PPF then that premium cant be used to apply for deduction in 80c? Am I right? We should only claim 80c deductions that we have incurred from our own taxable income, right?

you are confusing between tax free and deductions both are diffrent. if gift received form other than relatives it is taxble under the head income from other sources. if gift received from relatives it is not taxable under this head that does not mean it is allowed as deduction just it is not taxable as income

u can calim 80c but problem is u have income from business later may be pblm to you hope you get the meaning

Okay. Thank you a lot for the answer. I have another question related to the same topic. Please consider if this person has claimed the benefit in 80c due to this LIC/PPF. Lets say it happened in F.Y 2011-12. This person has also not filed the return for that year. So, can now this person pay the amount of tax he didnt paid due to 80c deduction in the Income declaration scheme, 2016 with 45% taxation rate? 

Thanks

first let me know how he claimed deuction without filling return???

He didnt know it was not right. As he was a salaried employee, his company deducted TDS on his income. As the financial year end nears, company asks if the employees have made any savings. If they have, the company adjust the tax deduction accordingly. So, this employee gave the proof of premium submitted in the policy in his name, so the company took it into account and deducted less tax.

If it is treated as a gift from relative it is obviously tax free, and included in the hands of recepient. If it is included in income why cant we claim 80C deduction ?
