Hello, Any amount that you pay towards life insurance premium for yourself, your spouse or your children allowed as deduction u/s 80C.
Grand Father/Pinky both can't get the tax benefit for Rs-5000.

In case of an individual, deduction is available in respect of policy taken in the name of taxpayer or his/her spouse or his/her children. In case of a HUF, deduction is available in respect of policy taken in the name of any of the members of the HUF.

No deduction is available in respect of premium paid in respect of policy taken in the name of any person, other than given above.
